How we choose Best Rate personal loans
All the Best Rate loan providers listed by Which? are signed up to the Lending Code, which sets the minimum standards for the way banks, building societies and other providers should treat their customers.
Our Best Rate loans are widely available across the UK, and consumers do not need to own any other financial products from an institution in order to qualify for them.
Lots of loan providers use risk-based pricing to determine what interest rates their customers get.
This means you might not end up with the same rate as the one you saw advertised, as the rate you get is based on your credit score.
If you want to know what personal loan rate you’ll get when you apply, go for a Best Rate loan that doesn’t use risk-based pricing.
If you think there’s a chance you might be able to repay your loan early, look for a Best Rate without any early repayment charges.
