We only offer single applications for our personal loans, but we do take household circumstances into consideration when assessing the affordability of the loan.
If you’re looking to repay your loan early, you can contact us to request a settlement figure. Please note, our loans are designed for long-term borrowing, meaning if you chose to settle early the balance may not have reduced by much.
Yes. At Norwich Trust, our application process is manual, meaning we take time to understand any credit issues and could still offer you a loan if you’ve had problems in the past.
Applying for a loan with us only requires a soft search which won’t impact your credit score. Once the loan has been paid out, we report the payment history of the loan to the credit reference agencies. Making late payments or missing payments could negatively impact your credit file.
