Danske Bank, a trading name of Northern Bank, is one of the major banks in Northern Ireland. With headquarters in Copenhagen, it is the largest bank in Denmark and one of the leading financial enterprises in northern Europe.
Danske Bank stipulates that personal loan repayments must be made from a Danske Bank current account. If you’re a Danske Freedom, Choice or Prestige account customer, you may get a better rate. Unlike many personal loan providers, Danske Bank allows you to make a single or joint application with a partner or family member.
The Annual Percentage Rate (APR) is a summary of the yearly cost of a loan. It takes into account both interest and any unavoidable charges you'll need to pay (for example an arrangement/product fee) over the duration of a loan. Because Danske Bank doesn't charge an arrangement fee, its APR comprises just the interest rate – and so they're one and the same.
However, the vast majority of lenders tailor rates (and therefore APRs) to the individual applicant. If they think you're a riskier bet, they'll offset that by offering you a higher APR. The "representative APR" (as defined by the Financial Conduct Authority) is what Danske Bank gives to at least 51% of those who take out the loan. The other 49% could pay more. Danske Bank must calculate APR in the same way as other lenders, and must tell you your personal APR before you sign a loan agreement.
Danske Bank advertises a representative APR of 7.4% on loans between £10,000 and £25,000 on the Danske Bank Personal Loan.
You will need to log in to your Danske Bank online banking account to fill out an application form. Select how much you would like to borrow and over what term.
You will also be required to provide personal, banking, income and expenditure details. To complete the application, you will need to either go into a branch or speak to an advisor on the phone. You can request an appointment or a callback using a form on the bank’s website.
Danske Bank has received average reviews from customers, according to review platform Trustpilot. It currently has a rating of 4.5 out of 5, based on more than 16,500 reviews (updated May 2024). Some customers reported a slow application process and poor customer service.
For personal banking queries, you can call Danske Bank on 0345 600 2882, or alternatively you can use the online chatbot found on their website.
Danske Bank will only approve applications from customers who have a good credit rating. If you have made financial slip-ups in the past, you are unlikely to be accepted.
If you don’t already have a current account with Danske Bank, you will need to open one before you can apply for a personal loan.
Danske Bank provides loans of between £1,000 and £25,000. The amount you can borrow will be determined by your credit rating and personal financial circumstances.
A personal loan can be used for a variety of purposes, but cannot be used to buy property. You may use it for debt consolidation, a new car, a holiday or home improvements.
