Advice about Loan Application

I applied for a personal loan today with RBS, this was to consolidate debt, 1 current RBS loan & 1 RBS credit card, also 1 credit card from another bank, I applied through my digital banking account and at the end the message was that i'd been approved and money would be in my account in 2 working days, which seemed too straightforward!!!
There was no "approved in principle" . Does this mean that the application has been accepted 100%? Any advice appreciated, Thanks

    Yes possibly.

    When its in your account do make sure you use it for the purpose you intended.
  • "Too straightforward" ha I know what you mean!

    My wife once applied for a £10k loan with her bank, Halifax, and the application took about 4 minutes. The money was in her account immediately.

    Why do you think the bank would tell you it had been successful if they might not follow it through? So yes, I think it has been accepted. But you're not going to use the money until it is in your account so wait 2 working days.
    loose does not rhyme with choose but lose does and is the word you meant to write.
