Flexible loans - do they exist?
Hi all, hope you're having a good day.
I might be after a flexible loan, i.e. one where I can make overpayments with no penalty - a bit like a credit card but without the high interest. I recall the Co-Op did them many years ago, but I can't find what I want. Any suggestions?

If it’s for a small (up to £5000) amount and it’s to buy something in a shop (for example) then a cheap (preferably 0%) credit card is best. If you need money in your bank account then a money transfer card would be best. As for a flexible loan, don’t think they exist, or if they do will probably have sky high interest.0

I think with many loans you can make overpayments on top of your regular payments, I certainly can with my Nationwide loanRobM99 said:Hi all, hope you're having a good day.

You could ask some lenders the question but yes some will let you overpay.0
