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 Halifax 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 Halifax gives to at least 51% of those who take out the loan. The other 49% could pay more. Halifax must calculate APR in the same way as other lenders, and must tell you your personal APR before you sign a loan agreement.
Halifax advertises a representative APR of 6.4% on loans between £7,500 and £25,000 on the Halifax Personal Loan and 6.4% on loans between £7,500 and £25,000 on the Halifax Existing Customer Personal Loan.

You should only apply for a Halifax personal loan if you’re certain you can meet the repayment terms, and you meet the following criteria:
Halifax typically offers loans to applicants with high credit scores. It's important to note that your credit record is just one factor that Halifax considers. However, if you don't have a high credit score, you're very unlikely to get approved for a Halifax loan.
A "Good" or "Excellent" credit rating would require a score of 881 or higher if you're referring to Experian's scale, 531 or higher if you're referring to Equifax's scale and 604 or higher if you're referring to TransUnion's scale.
Yes, Halifax offers instant decisions online in most cases. (Occasionally, more information may be required.) First, you can use the soft-search eligibility checker to find out your chances of getting approved. (This won't affect your credit score.) Then, if you opt to go ahead and apply, you'll get an instant answer. Halifax can also offer same-day funding of your loan.
Yes, Halifax allows you to have more than one loan running at the same time. Each application for credit will be considered on its own merit. Alternatively, Halifax also allows you to effectively "top up" your loan by closing your current loan and starting a new, larger loan. There's no penalty for repaying ahead of time, but bear in mind that any overpayments may be subject to up to 2 months of interest beyond the date on which you overpay. Because of this, it may work out cheaper to run a second loan alongside the first, rather than consolidating the 2.
Yes, you can make overpayments without incurring any penalty fee. However, Halifax can continue to charge interest for up to 2 months on any sums overpaid. So, although making overpayments stands to save you money in interest, you may not save quite as much as you'd imagined.
Make sure you have the following information handy for your application:
And to confirm your identity online (if you’re not an existing customer) you’ll need:
Yes, while it doesn’t offer dedicated debt consolidation loans, both new and existing customers can take out a Halifax personal loan to consolidate debt. As with a regular Halifax loan, new customers can borrow up to £25,000 for debt consolidation, while existing Halifax current account customers can borrow up to £35,000.
No. Halifax doesn’t offer second charge mortgages, which are also known as “homeowner loans” or “secured loans”. If you’re a homeowner with a mortgage, then a secured loan can let you leverage the equity you’ve built up in your home to access larger loan amounts and/or lower interest rates. These tend not to be offered by high street banks, but by long-standing specialist companies (Pepper Money (formerly Optimum Credit) is one of the best known). You can learn about secured loans and compare your options in our comprehensive guide.
