With the explosion of online financial services and the uptake of more people being willing to use them, loan applications ‘in principle’ can often be reached in a matter of a few minutes and, these days, borrowers can complete an online application form just as quickly and this can be done 24/7, 365 days of the year even from the comfort of your own home. The term ‘in principle’ basically means that when an application is submitted, this immediately gets automatically cross-checked with the credit reference agencies which can then also automatically trigger a response back to the lender whose systems can then, in turn, inform a prospective borrower whether or not their application has been agreed ‘in principle’. With many brokers offering to compare the best loan rates on the market, a customer now has very fast access to the optimum deals available.

It is often the speed of the process which can determine whether or not a lender can secure the business which means that, once a prospective borrower has an agreement ‘in principle’, he/she can stop shopping around for alternative deals. Obviously, paperwork, be that in written form or online, will have to be completed before the loan agreement can be properly formalised but the technology does speed the whole process up which results in the borrower getting the money into their account far more quickly.

The actual speed of the ‘quick’ decision will also depend on the type of loan a borrower requires. Secured loans – those usually available to homeowners and which are secured against the equitable value of the home – usually mean that the decision ‘in principle’ can be reached more quickly. However, they usually take a little longer to arrange, in terms of having the money in the bank, as more facts and figures will be required in terms of the asset (usually your home) you are using as collateral. With an unsecured loan, the process of getting the money into your bank is far quicker as lenders will generally be able to gather the information they need, in terms of your ability to repay the loan, from information which they receive back from the credit reference agencies about your credit history and, therefore, their calculated assessment of your ‘risk’ in terms of your ability to repay the loan.
