Additional borrowing on your NatWest loan

Representative 7.1% APR

This rate is available on loans between £7,500 and £14,950. Other loan amounts are available at other rates. The rate you pay depends on your circumstances and how much you borrow, so it may be different from the Representative APR (Annual Percentage Rate).

How to top up your existing loan

  • Topping up your NatWest loan could be a good option if you want to borrow more money.
  • When you top up a loan, we don't actually add money too it.  We use the new amount you borrow to pay off your existing loan and open a new loan.
  • You can also open a second loan with NatWest
  • Remember, if you decide to borrow over a longer term, this could mean that you'll pay more interest overall.

Option 1 - Pay off a existing Natwest loan and borrow money

How does this top up loan work?

Get a new, bigger loan that pays off your existing NatWest loan – and gives you the extra money you need.

When you apply, ask for the money you need to pay off your loan, plus the additional borrowing.

So, if you owe £2,000 on your loan and want to borrow an extra £2,000, you’ll apply for a new loan of £4,000.

Just so you know...

  • We’ll use your new loan to pay off your existing NatWest loan and close it for you.
  • You’ll pay an early repayment chage. See more about your early repayment charge 
  • Your new loan will have a new interest rate.
  • To pay off a loan, you must have more than one repayment left.
  • If you cancel your new loan within the 14 day cancellation period, we're under no obligation to re-instate your old loan.  We could offer you a new loan for the amount of your old loan at our current interest rates

Option 2 - apply for a second NatWest loan

How does this top up loan work?

Keep your existing NatWest loan – which will stay the same, with the same interest rate.

Then apply for a second NatWest loan for any additional borrowing you want.

Just so you know….

  • You’ll have two loans, with two monthly repayments.
  • · Each loan will have its own interest rate.
  • · Each loan will have a different number of years to pay it back over.
