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 Ulster Bank 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 Ulster Bank 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.

Just so you know….

  • We’ll use your new loan to pay off your existing NatWest loan and close it for you.
  • You’ll pay an early repayment charge. See more about your early repayment charge.
  • Your new loan will have a new interest rate.
  • To pay off a loan, you must have more than one repayment left.
  • 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.
