How to top up your loan

It's simple to top up your loan. Just choose an option: 

  • Option 1 - apply for a new, bigger loan to replace your existing loan.
  • Option 2 - apply for a second NatWest loan.

Option 1 - apply for a new, bigger loan to replace your existing loan

How does this top up loan work?

  • Get a new, bigger loan that pays off your existing NatWest loan – and gives you the extra money you need.
  • When you apply, ask for the money you need to pay off your existing loan, plus the additional borrowing.
  • So, if you owe £2,000 on your loan and want to borrow an extra £2,000, you’ll apply for a new loan of £4,000.
Information Message

Just so you know...

  • Your new loan will be used to pay off and close down your existing loan.  The remaining balance will be given to you.
  • There will be an early repayment charge to pay off your existing loan early.
  • Your extra borrowing will be repaid at a new interest rate.
  • You can only pay off a loan if it has more than one repayment left to be made.
  • If you cancel your new loan within the 14 day cancellation period, we're under no obligation to re-instate your old loan.  We could offer you a new loan for the amount of your old loan at our current interest rates.

Option 2 - apply for a second NatWest loan

How does this top up loan work?

  • Keep your existing NatWest loan – which will stay the same, with the same interest rate.
  • Then apply for a second NatWest loan for any additional borrowing you want.
Information Message

Just so you know….

  • You’ll have two loans, with two monthly repayments.
  • Each loan will have its own interest rate.
  • Each loan will have a different number of years to pay it back over.
