In the current business situation, due to rising competition and falling demand in debt market bank and financial institutes have started new ways to attract more people to apply for loans. The leading institutes mainly Barclays, Sainsbury’s finance and Nationwide Building Society has launched new loan @ 6.9%, 6.8% and 6.7% respectively. Some of the schemes are offered to the existing client base and/or for a limited time period.
For the first time loans are offered at lower than 7% rate. The rates lowered are mainly to aim customers struggling for payoff their previous debts. Financial institutes believe that the borrowing has been started to revive and the financial institutes are entering back in unsecured loans business. In past five years the average loans raised has fallen from 9.74% to 9%. But in April the loan has surged from a growth rate of 2.2% to 15.58%, highest ever jump in last five years.
The raise in loan is due to the institutions giving unsecured loan, rather than the conventional secured after the global crises. The sudden growth was attributed to the fact that creditors are aiming on loan rates for more advances, due to the huge competition in the financial market, and subsidizing these by charging higher rates to those borrowing lower amounts.
