How soon will I receive my money?

If you applied online, you will receive an application pack in the post within 3-7 days. Once you have completed and returned this pack to us, your loan funds will be available within 48 hours, subject to all our credit requirements being met. We may ask you to send in supporting documentation in order for us to verify application details.

If you require funds urgently we would advise you to visit your local Ulster Bank branch.

Applications made by phone after 7pm and on Saturdays will not be processed until the following working day and we will contact you with a decision.
