New to Together Loans? We're building a new type of loan company. One based on trust. We offer personal loans, but these loans are a little different. Most lenders look at your credit history to decide whether you can borrow from them, based on how you've previously handled your money. We don't do that - our loans are based on trust*. If you're trustworthy and can afford the monthly payments but have been turned down for other loans, Together Loans could be for you. We offer a fair, simple and transparent loan based on trust - not just your financial history. With the Together Loans app you can: - Apply for a loan right here in the app - View you loan like never before - Quickly access your statement - Make payments simply and securely - Get help with your loan in real time - Top Up and Borrow More To learn more about Together Loans and how we offer a fresh approach on lending visit our website at togetherloans.com. Representative Example: Borrowing $3,000.00 over 24 months, repaying $177.13 per month, total repayable $4,251.12. Interest Rate 35.99% APR. Minimum term 24 months. Maximum term 60 months. Maximum APR 35.99%. There are no added fees. All Loans are subject to credit and underwriting approval.
