FAQ’s
- How do I apply for a Personal Loan?
Applying is easy. You can submit your application online or contact a Premium Banker or Relationship
Manager who can assist you with what you’re looking for. - What is the difference between secured and unsecured Personal Loans?
A secured loan is a loan that is protected by an asset or collateral until the loan has been paid in full. If
you do not repay your secured loan the Bank may repossess the asset you used to secure the loan.
Your secured loan can be secured against a car, property, cash or another asset of value. Whereas
an unsecured loan is money that you borrow without having to use something of value that you own as
collateral. - What can I use the loan for?
A loan can be used for a number of reasons. The most common are for new and used car purchases,
a new bike, debt consolidation and home improvements. There are multiple other reasons to take out
a loan, come in and speak to a Personal Banker or contact your Relationship Manager to see if we
can lend you money for what you need. - Do I have to make a down payment on my loan?
No, we offer 100% financing on Personal Loans so no down payment is necessary. - Will I need to provide documentation to support my application?

support income and expense verification. To ensure you have everything you need for your
