Our review of Clydesdale Bank Loans
Unlike some other banks, it’s not essential to hold a current account, card or other form of personal finance with Clydesdale to be able to apply for their loans. You will need to have good credit history though, so if you’ve had a CCJ or default recently then steer clear and find a lender that would be better suited to your circumstances.
If you're pushed for time and looking for a quick injection of cash, then Clydesdale will not be the best option for you. Once approved customers must send back their completed documentation – after that it can take up to five working days for the loan to be credited into the chosen account.
On Choose Wisely reviews about Clydesdale are mixed. Their process is said to be detailed and they ask a lot of questions, but this is to be expected when applying for finance from this type of lender, especially if you’re asking for amounts towards the higher end of the scale. On the plus side, you can also choose to make repayments weekly which is a real bonus for customers that get paid weekly rather than monthly.
Overall verdict: Clydesdale offer a similar offering to the other banks and are a solid lender worth researching if you have good credit. If your credit history isn't great you'll be better off checking out our bad credit loans comparison table.
