Loan repayment terms

This is the length of time you can take a loan over, depending on the amount you're borrowing and what it will be used for.

You can borrow for more than one purpose on the same loan. For example should you be looking to consolidate debt and do some home improvements you can do this under the one loan application. Your loan purpose should be selected as the purpose that will make up at least 50% of the borrowing purpose. Should you be borrowing for multiple purposes and no element makes up more than 50% of the borrowing then the loan purpose should be your largest expenditure of the funds.
