Why get a loan with AIB?

Here’s a look at the features and benefits of choosing AIB for your loan:

• Quick loan approval: To borrow between €1,000 and €30,000, online applications take a few minutes for AIB customers, and you can get a decision in under three hours within business hours. Exclusions apply.
• Competitive rates: AIB offer a choice of market-leading variable rate loans. Once your repayment plan is agreed upon, it won’t change. If the rate rises during the loan term, you may need to pay extra at the end of the term, but if the rate falls, you might repay your loan sooner.
• Flexible loan terms: Spread your repayments over one to five years and up to 10 years for some home improvement loans. Pick your own repayment schedule and choose between weekly, fortnightly or monthly.
• Smart loan tools: AIB have online loan tools like the Loan Repayment Calculator and the Loan Affordability Calculator to help you work out how much you can borrow and what it will cost.
• Planned repayment holidays: AIB offers the option of a planned repayment break, so you can spread the annual cost over 11 months instead of 12 months. This needs to be arranged at the time of application.
• No charge for early repayment: If you’re able to pay a little more towards your loan, you won’t be penalised for making extra payments or paying it back early.
• Support every step of the way: AIB provide handy tools like a downloadable income & expenditure planner, phone or branch appointments to talk through your options, or for those quick questions; live web chat and AskAIB on Twitter.
