Ulster Bank loan FAQs

Can you tell me what a “soft search” is?

It’s how you get your loan quote with no effect on your credit score. Ulster Bank will look up your profile for your quote, which other lenders cannot see.

Should I expect the payments on my Ulster Bank loan to change yearly?

You don’t need to. Since the APR is fixed, it means your monthly payments will also stay fixed.

What APR will I get from Ulster Bank?

This largely depends on two factors: the loan amount and your financial circumstances. The highest rate Ulster Bank can grant is 29.9%.

Will Ulster Bank charge any fees if I repay my loan early?

Yes, they will. They’ll charge you 58 days’ interest on the amount you repay early. However, they’ll only charge 28 days’ interest for loans with 1 year or less left.

Does Ulster Bank allow loan top-ups?

Yes. They can settle your old loan and create a new one with excess funds. Otherwise, they can create a second, separate loan for you.
