TSB logo
The heart knows what it wants, they say. For you, that could be a two-week winter vacation. Or a new living room showcase. Maybe even something as practical as a master’s degree.

Well, TSB knows what you need: a TSB Personal Loan! You can finally fulfill your heart’s desire with quick and easy funding from TSB. Not sure how much it will cost you monthly? Don’t fret; our TSB personal loan calculator can help you there.

Terms from 1 to 10 years. Representative example: 5 year £10,000 loan with comparison rates from 2.8% to 49.9% APR would cost between £10,728 and £27,321, including fees. The interest can vary between £728 and £17,321.

About TSB Personal Loans

TSB understands what their customers need when borrowing for personal use. Hence, their Personal Loans have the below key highlights:

  • Limit ranging between £1,000 to £25,000
  • Term ranging between 1 to 7 years
  • Fixed APR of 2.8% (for loans between £7,500 to £25,000, up to 5 years only)
  • Instant credit decision (in most cases)
  • Access to funds within 1 working day (talk about speed!)
  • No up-front fees (hooray!)
  • Direct-debit repayment
  • Two one-month repayment holidays every year (you cannot take one after the other)
  • Freedom to overpay anytime without charge

Additional useful information

TSB also offers top-up loans if you need those. The first option is to combine the old and new loans into one payment. The second option, on the other hand, is to keep the new loan separate. As for the terms, they are similar to the ones above except for the APR. (The top-up loan may increase the APR due to increased risk.)

There are added benefits for TSB current account customers. They can loan for as little as £300, to as much as £50,000. They can shorten their term to 3 months for loans below £1,000. And then there’s the same-day access to funds. (Those’re some incentives to open a TSB account, if you don’t have one yet!)

One thing you should note: TSB will not allow a loan for some specific purposes. These include:

  • Risky financial pursuits like gambling or share purchases
  • Criminal pursuits like drug-pushing
  • Business-related financing
  • Repayment of loans provided by the Student Loans Company
  • Investments in land
  • Mortgage and rental payments
  • Payment of recurring household bills
  • Treatment as savings

Still unsure whether or not to go for it? No worries. You can start by getting a quote from TSB here, and then decide from there. The good news is, the quote won’t affect your credit rating!


How to Apply

The first step is to check if you are qualified for a TSB Personal Loan. You would be if you are:

  • Over 18 years of age
  • A UK resident not living on the Channel Islands or the Isle of Man
  • Employed or retired with a pension
  • Earning at least £10,200 every year
  • Not bankrupt

Once you meet all of the above, the rest is a walk in the park. You can apply online, go to your nearest branch, or call at 0345-835-3861. It’s different, though, for non-TSB customers aged 18 to 20 years old. They can only apply by phone or through the branch.

TSB FAQs

Will my loan repayments change every year?

Not at all. The fixed APR allows your repayments to stay steady all throughout the term. They’ll be as unchanging as your partner’s snoring habit. (Don’t tell them we know!)

What is the final rate TSB will approve me for?

The APR changes with the loan term you pick. For example, the low 2.8% rate stays within a term of 1 to 5 years. Beyond that, the rate will increase. Furthermore, TSB will also determine your APR based on your credit standing. This is why it’s always a good idea to remember your monthly payments!

Can I apply for a loan if I have a bad credit history?

As long as you aren’t bankrupt, there is no harm in trying. But TSB may ask many questions about your profile, and give you a higher APR. (The maximum APR they can grant is 39.9%)
