We offer unsecured personal loans
This means that if we decide to lend you money, it won't be secured on your home, car or other assets. You can then spend this money on the things you need.
Available repayment periods
You can apply for a loan term from 12 to 120 months depending on the loan amount and purpose. Just remember that the maximum repayment period might be lower for certain loan purposes.
Borrow exactly what you need
We offer loans to cover costs big and small and you can be specific about the amount you need, down to the pound.
How interest is charged
The interest rate is fixed for the life of the loan.
At the beginning of the loan we work out the interest you will pay over the whole length of your loan and add this to your loan amount. We calculate your interest charge by applying interest at a monthly rate based on the APR to the balance of your loan, as reduced by your monthly repayments. We add this to the loan amount and then divide this total by the number of monthly repayments.
The loans calculator will give you an example of what it might cost you based on the loan amount and term you want. However, the interest rate we offer may be higher depending on your individual circ*mstances.
We're proposing to transfer our banking business to Barclays
If your application is successful, your account is expected to transfer to Barclays on 1 November 2024.
There'll be no immediate changes to how you use and manage your account on a day-to-day basis. Barclays will continue to use the Tesco Bank brand on all existing Tesco Bank banking products through a long-term strategic partnership with Tesco.

Take a payment break
Sometimes it can really take the pressure off when you don't have to start repaying your loan straight away, especially if you've got extra expenses to cover.
So when you apply for a loan, you might be eligible to apply for a payment break before stating your monthly loan repayments.

You'll always know what you have to pay
All Tesco Bank Personal Loans are fixed rate. This means your monthly Direct Debit payments will be the same every month until your loan is paid off. Nice and simple.
What happens if a payment is late?
We'll charge £12 each time a loan payment is late and £12 when a default notice is issued.
Can I make additional payments to my loan?
Yes, you can do this at any time at no extra cost. It may help pay off your loan faster, reducing the amount of interest you pay which would save you money overall. You can learn all about what this means for your loan on our page about additional payments.
Can I pay off my loan early?
You can do this at any time which could save you money on interest charges. Remember to factor in a two-month interest fee when you settle early though. For more on early settlement figures visit our page on paying your loan off early.
Yes, you can apply to borrow more once you've made 8 consecutive monthly payments on your existing loan.
You can find out more about borrowing more on our existing customer page.
Credit checks during application
We'll carry out a credit reference search when you apply for a loan and a credit score will be calculated based on the information you enter and your credit reference information. This will help us make a decision on whether or not we're able to lend to you. We'll then let you know the decision and what the status of your application is.

What do we mean by Annual Percentage Rate (APR) and annual rate of interest?
The APR is the total cost of borrowing, as a percentage of the amount you owe, over a year. The APR is calculated from the annual rate of interest plus any upfront fees. It gives you a way to compare the cost of different loan and credit offers.
The annual rate of interest is the amount of interest that will be charged on your loan, as a percentage of the amount you owe, over a year.
Why would I use a loan calculator?
When you’re thinking about taking out a personal loan, one of the most important things to know is whether you’ll be able to afford the monthly repayments. Our loan calculator helps you work out how much you could be expected to pay back every month on our current headline rates, by looking at things like how much you’d like to borrow and the length of the loan.
Our loan calculator lets you try out lots of options, so you can see the difference between a one-year loan or a three-year loan, for example. This can help you work out whether you’re likely to be able to afford a personal loan alongside your other monthly payments.
How does this loan calculator work?
Our loan calculator asks you for information about a few key things and then uses those to work out how much you could expect to pay each month and how much you could borrow. It uses variables like how much you’d like to borrow, the interest rate and the length of the loan. If you change one of these variables, the loan details will be recalculated.
Our loan calculator shows you the representative APR (Annual Percentage Rate) for the information entered. How much interest you could end up paying is dependent on your individual circ*mstances.
How are loan repayments calculated?
Our loan calculator works out how much interest you could pay overall, by looking at things like the APR (Annual Percentage Rate) and how long the loan is for. It also tells you how much you might need to pay back each month, so you can work out if it’s affordable as part of your current budget. It uses the representative APR for the loan details you've entered. The actual APR you will get and the interest you could end up paying is dependent on your individual circ*mstances and credit score, so could be different. Not sure what your score is? Check out our guide on how credit scores work.
