About Us
Serve and Protect loans are designed with your needs in mind, offering competitive rates, flexible terms, and personalised support. Whether you’re handling unexpected expenses or planning ahead, our loans provide dependable solutions for members.
Sometimes, life throws unexpected expenses your way or presents opportunities that require a little extra financial boost. That’s where a top-up loan can help. A top-up loan is an additional amount you can borrow on top of an existing loan. It allows you to access extra funds while continuing to pay off your original loan.
Top-up loans are great for a wide range of needs, like home improvements, consolidating debt, or covering unforeseen expenses. If you’re looking for a way to secure extra funds while keeping your financial planning on track, a top-up loan could be the perfect solution.
There are a host of benefits to a top up loan for those that are in need of additional funds. We outline just a few of these below.
Flexible Repayment Terms
We understand that everyone’s financial situation is unique. That’s why we offer flexible repayment terms tailored to your needs. Whether you prefer a longer or shorter term, we’ll work with you to create a plan that fits comfortably within your budget.

To apply for a Serve and Protect Top-Up Loan, you need to:
You may be eligible to borrow up to £25,000, depending on your circumstances. This amount includes any existing loan you may have. You’ll then only need to make one fixed, monthly repayment, making it easier for you to plan your budget.
When you top up a loan, we don’t actually add money to it. Instead, we set up a new loan for the remaining balance plus the additional amount you want to borrow.
Here’s an example: if your current loan is £2,000 and you would like to borrow an extra £3,000, we’ll create a new loan for £5,000.
Please keep in mind that the new loan might come with a different interest rate and term compared to your initial loan. This means that you could potentially pay a higher amount of interest than before. Rest assured, we’re here to help clarify any questions you may have!
You have the freedom to repay your loan early at any time, without incurring any penalties.
Sometimes, you might not want to add more funds to an existing loan. This could be because you took out your current loan for a specific purpose and prefer to keep the repayments separate. In such situations, you could think about getting a second loan, resulting in two repayments.
You can effortlessly apply to top up your loan by simply logging in to our convenient online banking or our user-friendly mobile app. It’s quick, easy, and hassle-free!
