What you get
One loan to tidy up your debt
A consolidation loan pays off your existing balances and leaves you with a single fixed-rate loan to repay. Here's what that changes day to day.
Combine multiple balances
Clear several credit cards, store cards and loans at once, then repay a single consolidated loan in their place.
Aim for a lower APR
If your credit has improved, your new fixed rate may sit well below the double-digit APRs that cards often charge.
One fixed payment
Swap a handful of shifting minimums for the same set amount every month until the balance reaches zero.
A defined payoff date
Fixed terms tell you the exact month your debt is gone, instead of an open-ended revolving balance that lingers.
No collateral needed
Consolidation loans are usually unsecured, so you don't pledge your home, car or savings to qualify.
Room to rebuild credit
Paying cards down to zero can lower your credit utilisation, which may help your score recover over time.
Why borrow with us
Why borrowers consolidate
Potential interest savings
Moving high-rate card debt onto a lower fixed APR can reduce the total interest you pay over the life of the balance.
Simpler month to month
Stop tracking several due dates and minimums — a single payment on one date is far easier to stay on top of.
Predictable fixed rate
Your rate is locked at signing, so payments never drift the way variable credit-card rates can from month to month.

Good to know
What affects your consolidation rate
Lenders price every offer individually. These are the details that shape the rate you're quoted.
- Credit score
- The biggest factor. Stronger scores earn the lowest APRs, which is where most of the interest savings come from.
- Amount & term
- How much you consolidate and over how long shapes both your monthly payment and the total interest you'll pay.
- Debt-to-income ratio
- Lenders weigh your existing debt against your income to gauge how comfortably you can carry the new payment.
- Income stability
- Steady, verifiable income reassures lenders and can help you qualify for a better rate and a larger amount.
- Your credit habits
- Keeping older cards open but paid off, and avoiding fresh balances, supports the profile lenders reward.

Questions
Debt Consolidation Loan FAQs
Checking your rate uses a soft inquiry that doesn't affect your score. Opening the loan adds a hard inquiry and may dip your score briefly, but paying card balances down to zero often helps it recover over time.
It's a loan you repay in full — not debt settlement. You borrow to pay off your balances, then repay the new loan on agreed terms, so your accounts stay in good standing rather than being negotiated down.
It depends on your current rates, the new APR you qualify for and your term. The wider the gap between your card rates and your loan rate, the more interest you stand to save.
It often can, especially with a lower rate or a longer term. Just remember that stretching the term reduces the monthly amount while increasing the total interest you pay overall.
Usually yes. Most consolidation loans can cover credit cards, store cards and other unsecured personal loans, though the exact debts you can combine depend on the lender you choose.
Options exist across the credit spectrum, though a lower score may mean a higher rate. Checking your rate first lets you see real offers before deciding whether consolidating makes sense for you.
