How does a £3,000 loan work with Asda Money?
At Asda Money, we can help you find a £3,000 loan that meets your lending requirements. We work with a range of carefully selected trusted UK lenders that make up our lender panel. All it takes is one quick eligibility check, and you can compare £3,000 loans to find one that is right for you and your circumstances.
When can a £3,000 loan help?
A £3,000 loan can help in a variety of ways. You may want to improve your home and need some cash upfront to do it. With £3,000 you could:
- Buy new furniture or carpets
- Get your home redecorated
- Buy a new bathroom suite
- Get new kitchen appliances
You could use £3,000 to consolidate debt into one easy-to-manage monthly payment, put a deposit down on a new car, or boost your wedding fund.
Please remember that by consolidating existing borrowing, you may be extending the term of the debt and increasing the total amount you repay.
Types of loans
- Unsecured personal loans (we offer access to these at Asda Money)
-
- Usually a small, fixed rate loan for personal use
- For amounts between £1,000 and £25,000
- The amount you can borrow and the rate you see is based on things like your personal circumstances and credit score
- Secured personal loans also known as homeowner loans (we don’t offer access to this type of loan)
-
- Typically sums over £15,000 and repaid over longer periods of 5-25 years
- What you can borrow and the interest rate depends on your credit history, your assets and personal circumstances
If you borrow with a secured loan, lenders will need security in the form of an asset, which is usually your home. If you put up your home as security and can’t afford to pay back the loan, your home may be repossessed.
- Guarantor loans (we don’t offer access to this type of loan)
-
This is often offered if you have bad credit. The lender asks for a chosen friend or family member to guarantee the loan repayment if you can’t pay it back. Remember that while you will get the money you need, this can place considerable financial pressure on your friend or family member.
How much will a £3,000 loan cost?
When you borrow £3,000 through a personal loan, you pay interest. This is calculated at the start of the loan based on the interest rate set by the lender and the length of the loan. This is then added to the loan amount, so you know exactly how much your loan will cost you.
Smaller loans often have slightly higher interest rates to cover the costs the lender pays. So the interest rate on a £3,000 loan may be lower than a £1,000 loan but higher than a £5,000 loan.
The higher the interest rate, the greater the amount you’ll pay over the term of the loan. A longer loan term may mean smaller monthly payments, but you may pay more in interest.
Will a £3,000 loan affect my credit score?
When you check your eligibility for a £3,000 loan with Asda Money, this doesn’t affect your credit score. You’ll get access to our panel of trusted lenders with one eligibility check. This only leaves a soft credit footprint on your file and doesn’t affect your credit rating.
If you choose to take up one of the offers, you can then continue directly to the lender, they may complete a hard search before your funds are released which will show up on your credit file.
