Starling Bank Personal Loan

Starling Bank

• Amount £500–£5k
• Type personal
• Term 3–36 mo

Convenient for small, quick borrowing through the app — but limited to £5k max, which rules it out for bigger needs.

Barclays Personal Loan

Barclays

• Amount £1k–£50k
• Type personal
• Term 12–60 mo

Solid all-rounder from a trusted high-street bank. Best rates reserved for existing customers with strong credit.

Halifax Personal Loan

Halifax

• Amount £1k–£50k
• Type personal
• Term 12–60 mo

Very similar to Lloyds (same parent group) with equally competitive top-line rates. Reliable choice with no surprises.

Santander Personal Loan

Santander

• Amount £1k–£25k
• Type personal
• Term 12–60 mo

Decent rates, especially if you already have a 1-2-3 current account. Otherwise nothing remarkable compared to the Big Four.

Nationwide Personal Loan

Nationwide

• Amount £1k–£25k
• Type personal
• Term 12–60 mo

A trustworthy building society with fair rates. You need to be a member, but opening an account is easy.

Post Office Personal Loan

Post Office

• Amount £1k–£25k
• Type personal
• Term 12–60 mo

Quietly competitive — often overlooked but rates are genuinely fair. Underwritten by Bank of Ireland, so it's solid.
