A 6 month loan is credit provided over a fixed short-term period. They are designed to be repaid in equal monthly instalments, including a fixed interest rate. They are usually for smaller amounts of money than a mortgage or long-term loan, typically between £200 and £800, or £1,500 for returning customers. These loans can be a manageable alternative for those who need to meet an unexpected expense and are looking to spread the cost of borrowing.
