Barclays offers personal loans that can be used for a number of financial goals, including:
- Debt consolidation
- Planning a wedding or preparing for a new baby
- Home improvements and repairs
- Vacations
- Medical expenses
- Major purchases
Barclays personal loans have a fixed interest rate with a minimum loan amount of $5,000. The maximum loan amount is $35,000. There are three repayment terms to choose from: 36, 48 and 60 months. Interest rates are based on the loan amount, loan term and borrower’s creditworthiness.
Borrowers pay no application fees, origination fees or prepayment penalty. There are also no late fees for missing a payment, although interest will continue to accrue on the loan.
Barclays doesn’t specify a minimum credit score that’s needed to qualify for a personal loan, only that loans are offered to borrowers who have demonstrated a proven ability to manage credit. Barclays doesn’t disclose the minimum income or maximum debt-to-income ratio that’s expected of borrowers, either. However, you can check your rate online.
