Loan top-up FAQs

Can I top up my personal loan?

If you have an existing loan with Instant Finance, yes, you can apply to top it up. We'll look at how your current loan is going and check the new repayments fit your budget. Get in touch with your branch team on the phone, online or in branch.

Can I get another loan if I already have one with you?

You don't need to pay off your current loan first. A top-up lets you add to the loan you already have, so you keep one loan and one repayment. Your branch team can talk you through your options.

Will my repayments change if I top up?

Yes. Borrowing more means you'll probably be paying more, and we'll show you what your new repayments would be before you sign anything.
