APR stands for Annual Percentage Rate. Our Home Improvement Loans have a variable rate which means that the rate, and your loan repayments, can go up or down during the term of your loan.
Warning: If you do not meet the repayments on your loan, your account will go into arrears. This may affect your credit rating, which may limit your ability to access credit in the future.
