- Borrow £1,000 to £25,000, over 1 to 7 years
- Check your eligibility for a loan before you apply without affecting your credit score
- Rates range from 3.1% to 39.9% APR
Representative example
A £4,000 personal loan over 3 years at 13.9% APR representative (fixed) with repayments of £134.94 a month. Total charge for credit will be £857.89. Total amount repayable is £4,857.89. Annual interest rate is 13.9% fixed.
The rate you may be offered will depend on your personal circumstances, the loan amount and the repayment term. Credit is subject to status and application.
Before you apply
- Credit is subject to affordability checks and eligibility checks by Freedom Finance and any lenders you might apply with.
- If you're paying off existing debt with a loan, you might extend the terms of the debt and increase the total amount you pay back.
- If you find a loan you'd like to apply for, your chosen lender might carry out a full credit check.
- Our Ethical Policy is unique to us as a bank and not shared by Freedom Finance or the panel of lenders. We will continue to monitor how customers are treated.
Search and apply for a loan
- You’ll complete one quick and simple application to get a decision in minutes (subject to status and eligibility).

- The Co-operative Bank and Freedom Finance receive commission if your application is successful - this varies depending on the lender but it won’t add to the cost of any loan you might get
- If you find a loan you'd like to apply for, your chosen lender might carry out a full credit check
How a loan works
We want to help you access the loan you need, whether it's for grand plans or little projects, renovating your home or managing debt.
A loan lets you borrow money for a set period of time. In return, the lender charges interest. The lenders on our panel all offer only fixed rate loans, it means that the rate you're charged will not change during the fixed term.
At the end of the fixed term, you'll have paid back the money you borrowed, plus the interest charged by the lender.
