Boat finance FAQs

What is a good APR for a loan?

If you’re shopping around for a personal loan online, the Annual Percentage Rate (APR) should be a key consideration. It enables you to compare lenders based on their loan interest rates and the amount you’ll repay on top of the principal debt (the amount you borrow).

One of the benefits of a personal loans is that they’re typically fixed rate, which means the interest rate won’t change and you’ll pay back the loan in equal monthly installments. This is one of the key differences between a low APR loan and other borrowing options like credit cards.

What do I need to apply for a loan?

Every lender has their own criteria when deciding whether to approve a loan, but most will ask you for the same sort of information. For an online loan application, you’ll need your employment details, including annual income, your bank account details and your address history from the last five years.

At Hitachi Personal Finance our criteria also require borrowers to be aged 21 or over. You must have a bank or a building society account, a good credit history, be a permanent UK resident and be in permanent paid employment or retired with a pension.

Back

Can I make loan overpayments?

If you have a change in circumstance and decide you want to make extra payments on your loan, you can do so at any time, free of charge. Loan overpayments will be used to reduce the duration of your agreement, so you’ll continue to pay your monthly Direct Debit as normal but the payments will end sooner.

The quickest and easiest way to make loan overpayments is by managing your account online. Using our online tools, you can make a one-off payment or increase your monthly payment. Alternatively, speak to our Customer Service Team on 0344 375 5500.

Back

Can I increase my loan amount?

Once you’ve completed the application, you cannot change the amount of the loan. However, for a period of 14 days you do have the right to withdraw from the agreement. You must then repay in full the amount borrowed within 30 days, and your agreement will be cancelled.

If we haven’t heard from you after the 14 day period, we’ll assume you’re happy with everything and you will be bound by the terms of your loan. Once you’ve requested a cancellation, you can apply again to increase loan amount. To do so, contact our Customer Service Team on 0344 375 5500.

What happens if you fail to repay a loan?

If you’re unable to repay your loan, we’re here to help. It’s important that you contact our Collections Team on 0344 375 5488. Once we understand your current circumstances, we’ll be able to advise the most suitable option or establish a payment arrangement that is affordable for you. We may ask for information about your financial situation to ensure we put the most suitable arrangement in place.

If you’re experiencing financial difficulties, we may signpost you to a free debt charity called Step Change, who will be able to offer you confidential support.

What does APR mean?

APR, which stands for Annual Percentage Rate, is the official rate that represents the cost of borrowing. It differs from interest in the sense that APR includes the full cost, inclusive of additional charges, or a credit offer, so it’s useful when you’re comparing borrowing options such as unsecured personal loans and credit cards.

Back

What can a personal loan be used for?

Because repayments are the same each month, a personal loan is a great way of funding a whole range of purchases. Some of the most common things our customers take loans for include home improvements, financing a new vehicle, paying for a wedding, leisure activities like a holiday, or consolidating high interest debts into one more manageable payment.

Quick decision in minutes means a big relief!

Very quick decision avoids frustration and worry, competitive interest rates,definitely highly recommended 👌

EVERYTHING!! I went on line and was able to apply for a, much needed, Home Improvement Loan and was shocked at how easy it was and how fast I received a positive answer. It was, almost, too easy.

GREAT CUSTOMER SERVICE

No fuss, money approved in in my account next day!! Everything was fast and no stress what so ever

simple processes

simply application process, however very limited contact availability

Personal loan

Rated 4 because APR changed from initial attracted rate to higher when my loan was approved. I will still recommend Novuna finance loan for their quick decision and precise payment time.

Good and quick service
