About joint loans
Whether you’re working on a big dream or a little emergency, a joint personal loan is a great option if you’re looking to borrow money with a partner, family member or friend.
If approved, you could use a joint loan to:
To apply for a joint loan applicants must be 18+, a resident and either: both hold a sole Shostra Bank current account (held for 3+months) or share a joint Shostra Bank current account (held for 3+ months).
Linking your finances
Taking on any new debt is a big decision, especially when you’re doing it as a team.
If you’re approved, your credit files will be linked and future lenders may take both your scores into account before approving you for any other borrowing.
It’s also key to know that if the person you’re taking a loan with defaults on a payment or the entire loan amount, you will be responsible for the full payment amount.
Borrowing terms
This is the length of time over which your personal loan agreement is in place. Our minimum and maximum terms for certain loan amounts are shown below.
Can I pay off my loan early?
It’s important to remember that if you repay your loan early, you will be charged an Early Repayment Fee. The amount you will be charged will be equal to 58 days’ interest on the amount you repay early (28 days’ interest if the period of the Loan is one year or less). If there is less than 58 days (or 28 days if applicable) remaining on the loan, the calculation will be based on the actual number of days remaining. This is in addition to your outstanding loan amount and any outstanding interest.

Joint debt consolidation
Ready to get your ducks in a row? You can use a joint loan to combine both your debts and pay them off together.
If you or the person you’re applying with has other forms of debt such as a credit card, overdraft or loan, you can use a joint consolidation loan to put everything in one place and tackle the repayments as a team.
