At the bank of Scotland, we take pride in our services. We offer online services for your convenience and aid. We want to do the best we can and we are always willing to answer questions and assist you. Caring and sharing is part of what we do.

Our loans and interest rates

We offer personal loan amounts between 1,000 pounds and 35,000 pounds. We will charge up to 58 days interest if you chose to settle the amount early. We want you to find the right option for you, so we have more than one choice for you. Our personal loan for a car purchase is one of our options, but we also offer to hire purchase and personal contract purchase. We also offer car insurance.

You will also need some information readily available, like the dealerships name and banking details.

Some information about the car is also required, like the registration number, current mileage, how many miles you expect to drive each year if you are taking personal contract purchase, the price of the vehicle, and the deposit. If the car is new, we will also need the delivery date of your car and the full vehicle details if you don’t know the registration.

Things to consider when making a choice

  • The cost of fuel
  • MOT tests
  • Insurance
  • Breakdown cover
  • Servicing and maintenance
  • Only for cars, not vans or motorcycles

  • You can apply for a loan online, by calling, or by visiting a branch.
  • We also offer two more ways to finance your car. Fixed car finance (hire purchase) is the first. With this option, once you have paid the agreed-upon amount you will own your car. A deposit is required, no mileage limit and you may not sell the car until the finance is paid off.
  • With flex car finance (personal contract purchase), our second option, you will pay lower monthly amounts. Once the agreed-upon amount is paid back, you can decide whether you want to pay a lump sum and own the car or give it back. A deposit is required. You may not sell the car until the finance is paid off. There will be an agreed-upon annual mileage limit and exceeding the limit will result in additional costs. There may also be extra fees if you return the car in less than good condition.
