How quickly will I get my money?
For existing customers with a personal current account with us, we will credit the funds to your account on the day your loan is drawndown. For existing customers without a personal current account or for new customers, we will credit the funds to your account within 4 working days of your loan account being drawndown.

Your loan will be drawndown when we receive all required documentation and, where customers have chosen to print their own documentation, the activation code has been entered successfully.

Is it possible to apply in joint names?

Can I choose my repayment term?
You can choose a repayment period from a year up to 7 years, depending on what your loan is for and how much you borrow.

How do you approve loan applications?
In order to to assess your application we use our own Credit Scoring System. We also take into account information about your bank account as well as information obtained from a Credit Reference Agency. We then use our scoring system to produce a credit score which we use to establish which applications are accepted.

If I print my own documents which copy do I return?
You only need to return the signed and dated Bank Copy of the agreement. You should return all 3 pages of the Bank Copy and retain the Customer Copy for your own records.

back to top

How do I apply for additional borrowing?
You can apply to borrow more within the online application process. You'll need your personal loan number to do this, which you can find on your personal loan statement or by logging into Internet Banking.

On the application form you'll be asked if you want to consolidate any existing Clydesdale/Yorkshire Bank personal loans you have with us.

You can take out a new loan and leave your existing loan in place if you prefer, but your total borrowing on personal loans with Clydesdale/Yorkshire Bank must not exceed £25,000.

back to top

I have an existing loan, why is the APR on my new quote different?
We continually review our prices. The new quote you have received is based on your current individual circumstances and the loan amount you wish to borrow.
