| How To Borrow Money Barclays |
Step 1: Choosing Your Borrowing Bonanza Buddy
Barclays offers a delightful duo of borrowing options: credit cards and loans.
QuickTip: Read line by line if it’s complex.
-
Credit cards: These nifty little cards are like magic wands for everyday spending. Use them, pay them back in full each month, and poof! no interest to fret about. Plus, you might even snag some reward points or cashback along the way. Think of them as tiny financial cheerleaders, showering you with discounts and freebies.
-
Loans: Need a bigger chunk of change for a one-off whopper of a purchase, like a car or a home renovation? That's where loans come in. They offer a fixed amount that you pay back in monthly installments over a set term. They're like responsible roommates, helping you manage your finances and spread the cost out over time.
Step 2: Dive into the Digital Depths (Don't worry, there are no sharks!)
Gone are the days of trekking to the bank with a stack of paperwork taller than your dreams. At Barclays, you can apply for most things online or through our handy app. It's quicker than making a cup of tea, and almost as satisfying (especially if you add a biscuit).
QuickTip: Read actively, not passively.

Step 3: The All-Important Eligibility Enigma
Before you embark on your borrowing bonanza, it's important to check your eligibility. We consider your financial circumstances and borrowing history to make sure you're getting yourself into something you can comfortably manage.
Tip: Focus on sections most relevant to you.
Remember: Borrowing money is a responsibility, not a free-for-all shopping spree. Make sure you can realistically afford the repayments before you dive in.
