What is a Top-Up Loan and When can I apply?
A Top Up loan allows you to borrow additional funds while you already have an active loan with us.
Instead of running two separate loans, we combine your remaining balance and the new amount into one updated loan. The term may be adjusted depending on your application and affordability.
All Top Up applications are fully assessed.
How a Top Up loan works
If approved:
-
Your existing loan balance is settled
-
The new borrowing amount is added
-
A new combined balance is created
-
A new repayment term is agreed
You will then make one monthly repayment under the new agreement.
When can I apply for a Top Up loan?
Eligibility depends on the type of loan you currently have.
Some loans require:
-
At least one third of the original loan balance to be repaid
Other loans require:
-
A minimum of 3 months repayments to have been made
If you have not yet met the requirement for your loan type, we cannot assess a Top Up application.
If you are close to meeting the requirement and would like confirmation, please contact us and we can confirm your specific eligibility.
How much can I borrow?
The amount available depends on:
-
Your current outstanding balance
-
Your repayment history
-
Your income and affordability
-
Your credit profile
The final approved amount may differ from what you request following assessment.
Is there a credit check?
Yes.
A Top Up loan is treated as a new loan application. This means:
-
Full affordability checks are completed
-
A hard credit check is carried out
-
This may affect your credit score
Approval is not guaranteed and is subject to assessment.
When should I not apply?
You should not apply for a Top Up if:
-
You have not yet met your loan’s repayment requirement
-
You are currently struggling to meet your existing repayments
-
Your financial situation has changed significantly
