If taking on a personal loan by yourself doesn’t feel right for you, then a joint loan with a trusted friend, close relative or your partner may be the solution. You could raise the funds you need for a holiday, a new car, or a home project, and then pay off the loan together.
Enter your Clubcard number when you apply and if you're accepted you'll get a better rate.
A joint loan could get you access to the money you need and lets you spread the cost between two people. You would then be able to pay it back over a comfortable period of time. If you have big plans for a home improvement, a special holiday, or a new car, a joint loan may be an affordable option for you.
Taking out a personal loan is an ongoing commitment so make sure you think about how the loan repayments will work with your future plans.

Planning for the future can sometimes be blocked by limited cash, but a Tesco Bank joint loan can make those plans a reality. Couples could use a joint loan to finally put in that dream kitchen, or pay for that destination wedding, and family members could go in together on a car. You’ll both be in charge of how much you borrow and can share the cost of paying it back.
If you’ve both been relying on credit cards to get you through tighter times, you could look to consolidate your debt and split the bills between the two of you. Before you make a joint loan application, be aware that once you consolidate your debts, it might take you a bit longer to pay back, and may cost a higher amount of interest over time.
Remember, with joint loans both parties are liable for the loan, so think carefully about who you take out a joint loan with. If one person stops paying, the other is under contract to continue the payments. If the due loan payments are not made on time and in full, it will harm both your own and your loan partner’s credit score.
A loan gives you the money you need upfront and lets you spread the cost of paying it back. So whether it's a special holiday, a car or a new kitchen, a personal loan can make it more affordable.

This means that if we decide to lend you money, it won't be secured on your home, car or other assets. You can then spend this money on the things you need.
You can apply for a loan term from 12 to 120 months depending on the loan amount and purpose. Just remember that the maximum repayment period might be lower for certain loan purposes.
We offer loans to cover costs big and small and you can be specific about the amount you need, down to the pound.
The interest rate is fixed for the life of the loan.
At the beginning of the loan we work out the interest you will pay over the whole length of your loan and add this to your loan amount. We calculate your interest charge by applying interest at a monthly rate based on the APR to the balance of your loan, as reduced by your monthly repayments. We add this to the loan amount and then divide this total by the number of monthly repayments.
The loans calculator will give you an example of what it might cost you based on the loan amount and term you want. However, the interest rate we offer may be higher depending on your individual circumstances.
Barclays will continue to use the Tesco Bank brand on all existing Tesco Bank banking products through a long-term strategic partnership with Tesco. If your application is successful, there'll be no immediate changes to how you use and manage your account on a day-to-day basis.
