If you find yourself in financial difficulties, please let us know as soon as possible. Our specialist teams can help you assess your circumstances and work with you to find solutions to support you.
If you’ve been impacted by Coronavirus (COVID-19) and need financial help, please read our useful information page.
At TSB we are committed to supporting all of our business customers through this period of uncertainty.
It is important to know that we’re currently unable to accept new applications for either of these schemes (CBILS overdraft or Bounce Back Loan) from new customers.
CBILS overdrafts
We are offering CBILS overdrafts from £50,001 up to £250,000 - subject to status. There is nothing to pay for the first 12 months. If you would like to borrow under the CBILS overdraft please use our Overdraft Request Form to let us know what you need. A Relationship Manager will then be in touch by phone or email to progress your request.
Bounce Back Loans
We are offering Bounce Back Loans from £2,000 to £50,000 (up to a maximum of 25% of your business’ annual turnover), for small businesses impacted by Coronavirus (COVID-19) - subject to status. There is nothing to pay for the first 12 months, and after this the interest rate is fixed at 2.5% per annum. The loan is available for a total term of six years. If you choose to take out a loan, you are responsible for all repayments owed under the loan.
To find out more visit our Bounce Back Loans page.
If you experience financial difficulties:
- If you’re unable to make a repayment on your Bounce Back Loan we will provide timely, clear and adequate information to ensure you understand the amount you have missed, what can be done to remedy it, when you need to make any missed payments by, and how this could affect your future repayments;
- If you default on your Bounce Bank Loan, we will provide you with information about any proposed action we might take, before we take it;
- We will provide you with options for help and assistance, including sources of free independent advice.
We will also:
- Monitor repayments that you make during the life of your Bounce Bank Loan and take action to help you where there are signs of actual or possible repayment difficulties;
- Make adjustments to ensure that your circumstances are accommodated throughout the duration of your Bounce Back Loan, if we identify or believe you are vulnerable;
- Give you a reasonable period of time to remedy any breach if you default under your Bounce Back Loan. We will not treat the default as an event of default if you remedy the default within the period of time we give you;
- Not charge you any fees in relation to your Bounce Back Loan (including on default) or any default interest (except that we may continue to charge interest at the rate of 2.5% per annum if your Bounce Back Loan is not repaid when due until such time as it is repaid).
If you miss your repayments under the Bounce Back Loan, TSB would also have the right to repay any debt outstanding from other accounts that you may hold with us. Defaulting on your loan could negatively affect your credit score or rating with credit reference agencies, and make it more difficult for you to borrow in the future.
