‹ Back to your details

Based on you being offered the advertised representative APR, changing your current loan provider to BACB could save you money.

Total amount repayable with your current lender:

£XX,000.00

The total amount repayable with BACB Loan:

£XX,000.00

So by switching you could save up to:

£XXX.00

Your new monthly repayment would be:

£XX.00

Based on the information you have provided, making the switch to one of our Standard Loans will not save you money at this time. This may be for a number of reasons such as: the number of months left to repay on your original loan or the balance outstanding on your original loan. You may find that another BACB product would be better suited to your needs.

We have a range of loans with extra benefits not offered by other standard providers. Explore our range to see what else we can offer

  • 1) This calculator is for illustration purposes only and is not a quotation or a guarantee that your loan application will be approved.
  • 2) The estimated savings is based on the information you have provided about your current loan and assumes you are offered the advertised Representative APR. The actual rate you are offered will depend on your personal circumstances, credit assessment procedures and other related factors.
  • 3) Where you are not offered the representative APR the savings will be different. Higher APRs will reduce the saving you could make and you may not make any saving at all.
  • 4) Please note that if the total amount to repay figure you have provided is not accurate, then this again will influence the estimated savings you could make.
  • 5) If your loan application is successful, the loan amount will be paid directly to you. It is your responsibility to repay your existing loan including any applicable settlement fee.
  • 6) Multiple Credit Searches may make obtaining future credit more difficult.
