If you get conditional approval for an unsecured loan, we will set up a meeting at your closest branch. This helps us get to know you and your finances better. The meeting also gives you a chance to ask any questions you may have.

Tailored Local Lending
Our local branch staff have experience helping people get the loans they need. That is why we include a face-to-face meeting as part of the loan application process. This allows us to get to know you and your finances rather than just relying on a credit score. In the meeting, we will talk about how you manage your money, any financial obligations you might have and your personal circumstances. This allows us to offer loans to a wider variety of customers than lenders that just rely on automated credit scoring.
By the end of the meeting, we will know if we can provide you with a loan offer. If you have been successful, one of our team will explain the details of the loan and help you finalise your application.
Responsible Lending
At Everyday Loans, we strive to achieve the fairest lending practices. Our customers can expect us to be honest and upfront as well as keep their data secure.
To make sure we are responsible lenders, we meet with each customer to discuss the details of their potential loan. This includes explaining the terms of the agreement and defining their obligations, as well as assessing their financial situation. All of our customer data is stored securely and processed in line with UK GDPR and DPA regulations.
During the meeting, we will ask each customer about their finances. To ensure we get the most accurate information, we advise that our customers review their finances before they attend. We also suggest doing some general reading about common loan terms like APR and credit score. We have prepared a glossary of terms in the support section of our website to help explain some of this terminology. Our branches are also happy to help answer any questions customers may have.
We ask customers to let us know if their situation changes. For example, if they have an unexpected expense and may be late with a payment. In cases like this, we can work together to provide support and find ways to help them manage the loan.
If you are interested in applying for one of our unsecured loans, you can fill out our online application. To learn more about our loans, please contact your local branch.
What is an unsecured loan?
An unsecured loan is a loan that does not require any asset to secure the financing. This means a lender agrees to loan you money without you having to put up your home, car or other valuables as insurance.
Whether or not you are eligible for an unsecured loan is determined by your credit score and a set of requirements that are provided by your lender.
Types of unsecured loans
Some of the most common types of unsecured loans are:
Personal loans
These are general loans offered by a variety of lenders. Personal loans can be used for most purposes and are usually unsecured, meaning your car and home aren’t used as collateral to secure the loan.
Short-term loans
These are loan agreements where you are only borrowing for a few months, often with very high APRs and are referred to as a Payday Loans.
Debt Consolidation Loans
These are loans that allow you to consolidate multiple debts into a single loan. That allows you to simplify your repayment schedule and may lower the total amount you will pay on your debt.
Who is eligible for an unsecured loan
The minimum eligibility requirements for Everyday Loans are similar to many lenders.
- You must be over 18.
- Able to meet affordability checks.
- Be a UK resident.
Keep in mind that these are just some common basics. Other lenders may have additional requirements, which could include minimum credit scores, borrowing amounts and many other things. If you are interested in an unsecured loan, you can apply using our online form. We use soft search technology when you apply with us, meaning your credit file won’t be publicly marked if you are unsuccessful.
Pros and cons of an unsecured loan
The pros of an unsecured loan are:
Unsecured loans are available to people with a variety of credit scores.
You do not need to put up an asset like your home as collateral.
The cons of an unsecured loan are:
APR tends to be higher than secured loans because there is no asset to secure the loan.
You may not be able to borrow as much as you would with a secured loan.
Failing to meet the terms of your loan could hurt your credit score.

Frequently Asked Questions
-
What does that phrase APR mean? More
Annual percentage rate. APR means the amount that you’ll be paying back throughout your loan. APR isn’t a straightforward calculation as your loan repayments involve compound interest, which can be explained in a little more detail here. While this might be a bit tricky to get your head around (you won’t be simply paying back £1,100 on a £1000 loan at 10% APR for instance), we’ve made it a priority for our branch team to clearly break down costs should you choose to apply for a loan with us. And we have no hidden fees. Whatever your loan purpose, such as home improvement, APR refers to how much you pay back.
-
Is it correct that a loan could improve my credit? More
Potentially. By reliably making payments on a loan, you demonstrate to future lenders that you are likely to be able and willing to fulfil your future loan agreements. This could improve your credit.
If you miss payments, pay late or fail to abide by the conditions of your loan, that could hurt your credit score.
-
Is there any mark on my credit record when I apply? More
Everyday Loans uses soft search technology for our initial application. This means the only person who can see the application on your credit file is you. We only conduct a hard credit search once you have accepted a loan offer from us. Applying for other unsecured loans that don’t use this technology could result in a number of attempts to obtain credit showing on your report, which can negatively affect your credit rating and chances of obtaining a loan.
