Are you looking to make a big purchase without depleting your savings? Consider using your savings as collateral with our SavingsSecure Loan.at one of our lowest rates of interest – only 3.5% representative APR.
Savings to the value of the loan (from £250 and £30,000), will be held as security in your Scotwest Saver Account. As the SavingsSecure Loan balance reduces, the amount of the savings held as security will reduce in line with the outstanding balance. The maximum repayment term for a SavingsSecure Loan is 15 years.
Every loan application is carefully and individually assessed; decisions are based on a range of factors, always considering your income and expenditure and ability to repay.
