Having read some of the reviews I have to disagree ! You can manage your loan online making extra payments if you want whenever or just keep track of the balance . Also I have 2 loans at same time without clearing first loan both taken out online , the decisions takes minutes & loan paid directly to my bank account within days , much cheaper than bank loan or hire purchase ! Don't hesitate if you need a loan give AA a call or online ! Recommended

Terrible experience. Drawn out process, customer service awful. Nobody returns calls, even Managers when a formal complaint has been logged. Extremely slow, all done via post, spent a fortune of sending documents special delivery and calling their 0345 where you are left waiting for ages. Much higher APR offered than advertised. Worst experience and would definitely not recommend. AA should stick to repairing cars.

Firstly I work in the financial industry. I am in full time employment, my address is 'clean' my credit score (and file) is excellent. I have no other debt other than a loan at 8.4% APR with AA. Called to increase by a small amount (to repay a bond investment) was quoted a rate of 7.7% APR. After the application they offer me a rate of 10.7% APR!! There is no reason for such an increase. Trust me I know. Avoid AA loans at all costs 'footprints' on your credit file are not good.

I want to change my payment date to the first of the month and its was done in 5 minutes of the phone. Also the APR was considerable better than any hughstreet bank was offering.

When I called the AA about my loan application, I was put through to a lady within 15 seconds. She went through the application form with me and was very helpful. I did my application on Saturday, my agreement arrived on Tuesday, I sent it back that same day and the money was in my account that following Tuesday! Really impressed and now I have my new car.

Great personal loan provider, extremely easy online application and low interest rates. Only negatives are that you are not able to create an account and manage your loan online, and they communicate via post rather than via email which is my personal preference. However, the loan was still processed pretty quickly!

I applied for a loan with AA and the service was quick and efficient. However, the cheque was sent by courier and they did not inform me of the costs. It took time for the cheque to clear so I was unsure as why it was not done via banks transfer. Also, when I repaid the loan early, I did not get a refund on the interest. My advice would be to make sure you ask them questions about ALL the charges.

Our review of AA Member Loan
Although the AA don’t personally pay out the loan amounts (they are a brokerage for Bank of Ireland), their website and information offers the same feeling of security as their breakdown cover. There is lots of information about whether a loan is the right choice for you and they seem to be very conscious of lending responsibly. They clearly set out the criteria of the loan, explain why a customer may receive a certain decision and guide customers through the consequences of taking out a personal loan.
AA Personal Loans have mixed reviews online with some customers claiming to have great credit scores but still getting turned down. There are reports of the AA changing the initial quoted rate of interest after the application has been completed, however, this is to be expected as through gathering personal information they tailor their interest rate to each customer’s individual circumstances. Reviews across the web are quite negative, but with the majority of feedback being from those that have been declined, it’s not surprising.
One thing to note is that if you are an existing customer and wish to borrow more from AA Personal Loans, you will need to settle your existing debt with them and then reapply, which can be an inconvenience if you’re not in the financial position to do so.
Overall verdict: AA Personal Loans seem to take a firm but fair approach. They only accept those with a perfect credit history, so if your credit file has had a couple of wobbles in the past then this is not the loan for you. If you’re a current breakdown customer then AA Loans could be worth considering for convenience, but it’s worth shopping around.
