12 Month Unsecured Personal Loans
What is a 12 month loan?
A 12 month loan can be put into the category of an instalment loan, where a loan is borrowed and paid back in fixed monthly instalments over a year.

What if a 12 month loan is not suitable?
There are some cases where you won’t be offered a 12 month loan, for example if you cannot afford the higher monthly repayments, that’ll be a red flag to loan providers and they won’t accept your application, so make sure you can afford to pay the money back within the 12 months you’re applying for.
If you don’t think you’ll be able to raise the money within a year, a loan over 18 months, 24 months, 30 months or 36 months to spread the payments over a longer period might make the repayments less per month and may be a more suitable option for you.
How do I apply for a 12 month loan?
First and foremost, in order to apply you’ll need to be between the ages of 18-70, have a net income of at least £700 per month and hold a current UK bank account.
