Unsecured Top Up Credit Facility
12.7% Representative Fixed APR
There may be some situations where a fixed term loan for that large purchases might not be right for you. That's when a Responder top up credit facility possibly could be. It's designed to give you flexibility to cover those smaller, unexpected expenses or those regular, ongoing commitments. And it's almost certainly cheaper than a credit card or store loan carried over from month to month.
You can arrange a Responder loan* for an initial sum and then take out further loans*, up to six times per year, with flexibility to change the repayment term of the new combined outstanding balance to suit your own situation.
