Top Up Loans

Top up loans are subject to affordability checks and approval. A top up loan replaces your existing loan with a new agreement.
Your current balance is repaid, and you receive any additional funds approved.

How a top up loan works

1. Check your eligibility
We carry out initial checks to see whether you may be eligible to apply. These checks do not affect your credit score.

2. Apply
If eligible, you can submit an application. We’ll complete a full affordability assessment, which may include a credit reference agency search.

3. We assess affordability
We review your income, expenditure and overall financial situation to decide whether a top up loan is affordable for you.

4. Your existing loan is replaced
If approved, your current loan balance is settled and replaced with a new agreement. Any additional funds approved are then paid to your bank account.

Please note:
Topping up your loan may increase the total amount repayable and could extend the term of your agreement.

 

Example (illustrative only)

If your existing loan has a remaining balance of £1,500 and you are approved to borrow an additional £1,000:

  • Your new loan would be for £2,500
  • Your monthly repayments and loan term may change
  • The total amount you repay may be higher than under your original agreement

This example is for illustration only. Your rate, repayments and loan term will depend on your individual circumstances and affordability assessment.

Am I eligible for a top up?

To apply for a top up loan, you’ll generally need to:

5 Months existing contract

Have had your existing agreement for at least 5 months.

Be up to date


Have made all your recent repayments
on time.

No arrears

Meeting these criteria does not guarantee approval. All applications are subject to affordability checks and lending criteria.
