What can I use a 10k loan for?
Our £10k unsecured personal loans can allow you to access funds for up-front payments. You’re able to set monthly repayments over 1-7 years, helping you to spread the cost of big purchases. From 6.0% APR representative for Nectar members when you borrow £7,500 - £15,000 for 1-5 years. Some of the common uses for a £10,000 loan include:
Buying a car
New cars can be costly on their own, but tax, MOTs, insurance and other running costs can ramp the price up even further. With a £10,000 car loan, you can spread the cost over a few months or several years, making the car-buying process more manageable.
Home improvement
Major renovations can make your house feel like a home, but they’re a big financial commitment. Whether it’s modifying your kitchen, having a new bathroom suite fitted or doing a loft conversion, a £10,000 loan can help pay for the home improvements you want.

Debt consolidation loans
