The Co-Operative Bank helps with home improvements
THE CO-OPERATIVE BANK HELPS WITH HOME IMPROVEMENTS With the holiday industry slowing down many people over the coming months will turn to more pressing matters on the home front - house improvements. The Co-operative Bank's new personal loan offering has rates from as little as 8.4 per cent APR. The loan could be used to fund a new kitchen, bathroom, new conservatory, or to landscape the garden. A Co-operative Bank Personal Loan can also be used for any other purpose, maybe buying a new car, to pay for a holiday or just to consolidate existing debt on more expensive loans or credit cards. David Lowe, Loan Marketing Manager at The Co-operative Bank, said: "Since September, we have seen less people taking out personal loans from the Bank to fund holidays, but we have seen a rise in the number of loans for home improvement purposes. Now is the probably one of the best times to borrow money as interest rates are low. With the latest personal loan offering from The Co-operative Bank, you can borrow an amount over a set period of time and use it for any purpose, safe in the knowledge that should interest rates rise, the cost of the loan will not rise as well."
