Can you put loan money into a savings account until needed?
Hello all,
We are wanting to take out a personal loan for home improvements, and have been offered a good rate. However, we do not have a definite start date for works from our builder yet (it will be in the next few months). Is there any reason why we couldn't take the loan out and put the money into a savings account until needed?
Thanks in advance!

Yes its the same as stoozing credit cards. As long as the interest on savings is greater than the APR on the loan0

I don't think the OP is asking whether it's profitable. Currently it's unlikely to get a bank account APR higher than a loan APR.
They are asking if the potential lender will have any issue with them putting the money into a savings account, rather than using it for the intended (stated on the loan application) straight away.
And OP, that's fine, no need to worry.0
