Although it is possible to get a loan if you have bad credit, it is unlikely that you will be accepted for a loan with Shawbrook Bank.
We take our responsibilities seriously. When you apply for a loan with us, we’ll look at your personal circumstances and will only lend to you if we are comfortable that you can afford the loan. When considering your suitability for a loan, we’ll use your credit history along with other information you provide to decide if we can lend to you. If you have a history of missing payments or a poor credit history, you’re unlikely to be offered a loan by Shawbrook Bank.
There are also other reasons why you may not be offered a loan, even if you have a good credit history. More information can be found in our guide about being turned down for a loan despite having good credit.
However, there are lenders who may still offer loans to those with bad credit. Beware of high fees and read your terms and conditions carefully. If you are offered a loan despite bad credit, make sure you’re able to comfortably afford the monthly repayments and check whether your new loan cost (the amount borrowed and the total interest you will repay) is not greater than your existing debt.
