We’ve welcomed award-winning lender, RateSetter, into the Metro Bank family to bring our customers a personal loan that’s easy to apply for and simple to manage.
RateSetter’s instant quote means that you can find out your personalised rate there and then – this won’t touch your credit score. Once you’ve applied, you’ll usually know the outcome the next working day.
With flexible repayment terms and no early repayment fees, a RateSetter personal loan can help bring your plans to life.
Whether you want to do some home improvements, turn existing debts into one easy monthly payment or buy your next car, a personal loan could be the boost you need.
You can borrow between £1,000 and £35,000 over a term of 1 to 5 years, and rates start at 3.9% APR – get an instant quote to find out your rate on the spot. Once you’ve applied, you’ll usually know the outcome the next working day.
If you’re approved the money will be with you the next working day, and then you can manage your loan online 24/7. Pick a monthly payment day that suits you and make extra payments if and when you want to.
If you took out a loan of £10,000 over five years at a fixed interest rate of 2.3% per year (4.9% APR representative), your monthly repayment would be £187.94 and your total repayment amount would be £11,276.40. This includes a fee of £638. The majority of our customers receive the advertised APR or lower. The maximum APR you could be offered is 29.9%.
Loans are subject to status and affordability, and the rate and fee you pay will depend on your credit profile. Before entering into a loan agreement, make sure you read the terms and conditions carefully.
To be eligible for a personal loan with RateSetter, you need to:
APR stands for annual percentage rate, and gives you a more accurate idea of how much you’re being charged when you borrow money. It takes into account the interest on the loan and other charges, like arrangement fees.
You can borrow from £1,000 up to £35,000 for between 1 and 5 years.
First, go to www.ratesetter.com/metrobank, or get to RateSetter through our website, our App or Online Banking.
Once you’re on the RateSetter personal loan page, click ‘Get A Quote’ to answer a few questions and get your personalised rate – this won’t touch your credit score and there’s no obligation to apply.
If you do want to, click ‘Apply’. We’ll do a credit search (that other lenders can see), and let you know whether you’ve been accepted straightaway, or usually by the end of the next working day.
RateSetter charges a loan fee, but this is built into the APR (Annual Percentage Rate) along with your fixed annual interest, so there are no surprises. You won’t be charged a loan fee if you cancel your credit agreement within 14 days of it starting. The loan fee is non-refundable if you settle your agreement early.
If you get an instant quote through the RateSetter website, your personalised rate will be based on the details you’ve given and will be the rate you’re offered once you apply. If you change any information during your application, the rate could change.
Not long at all – in fact, it can take as little as five minutes if you have all your details to hand.
