Important: Clydesdale Bank has now joined forces with Virgin Money. If you’re an existing customer, you can still manage your loan as normal. If you’re a new customer, you can take out a loan with Virgin Money.
Established in Glasgow in 1836, Clydesdale Bank is one of Scotland’s largest banks, with 67 branches and a network of private banking centres. Along with Yorkshire Bank, it is part of the independent banking group CYBG PLC.
In October 2018, both Clydesdale Bank and Yorkshire Bank were taken over by Virgin Money and now operate as part of the Virgin Money brand.
Virgin Money personal loans are only available to existing customers who have a Virgin Money current account or are a Clydesdale Bank or Yorkshire Bank customer. You’ll need to have a good credit rating to be considered. If you’re approved for a personal loan with Virgin Money, it acts as a lender, not a broker – you’re borrowing from it directly.
An extra financial boost could help you pay for home improvements, a wedding or the holiday of a lifetime. Paying a large amount at one time can be difficult, but Clydesdale Bank can help you pay the money back over a set period with a competitive and flexible fixed-rate personal loan. It’s quick and simple to apply online at the Clydesdale Bank website.
