Low APR Loans for Good Credit Scores

The UK’s three Credit Reference Agencies all use slightly different scales to assess your credit history:

• Experian provides scores between 0-999, with 881 and above considered good to excellent
• Equifax provides scores between 0-1,000, with 531 and above considered good to excellent
• TransUnion provides scores between 0-710, with 604 and above considered good to excellent

Knowing your credit score is useful for judging whether personal loans for good credit are suitable for you. If you’re unsure what your score is, read our guide on how to check your credit score.

Having a good credit score shows lenders that you’re managing your finances consistently and have handled credit well in the past. When you apply for a loan, it’s one of the key factors lenders use to judge how likely you are to repay in full and on time.

Lenders are usually more confident in approving people with good credit scores and can offer them higher loan amounts and better interest rates as a result. This is why you might see these loans referred to as low APR loans for good credit.

You still have options with a fair or bad credit score and it isn’t the only factor that lenders assess. But in most cases, having a good score puts you in a stronger position when needing to borrow money.

Having a good credit score usually means more loans are available to you. Here are the key types of personal loans for a good credit rating:

• Unsecured loans, which aren't secured on your assets. You simply borrow the money and pay it back.
• Secured loans, which are linked to assets you own, usually your property. The lender could repossess your home if you fail to make the repayments.

You’re also likely to come across short-term and long-term loans, which are instalment loans repaid over different lengths of time from a few months to several years.

We offer unsecured personal loans for good credit with a range of term lengths depending on how much you borrow. This way you have flexibility and don’t need to put your assets at risk.

Having a good credit score can make higher loan amounts more accessible. You can apply to borrow between £100 and £1,000 through our website, subject to affordability.

A £1,000 personal loan with good credit could cover larger unexpected costs, while £100 might be enough for small expenses. View all our loan amounts for a summary or use our sliding tool below.

Lenders can carry out soft and hard credit checks when reviewing a loan application. Our initial credit check will be a soft one and won’t show up to other lenders on your credit report, so you can find out if you’re likely to get approved without impacting your credit rating.

We’ll only carry out a hard credit check if we go on to make a loan offer and you accept it. This check will be visible on your credit report. Read more about soft and hard credit checks.
