What is a travel loan?

A travel loan is simply a personal loan you use to pay for travel or holiday costs such as flights, accommodation, or even a bit of spending money. 

Instead of saving for years or using a high-interest credit card, you borrow what you need upfront and repay it in regular instalments that fit your budget. With Unity, that may mean:

  • A set interest rate (starting from 9.90% p.a. secured)
  • Fixed repayments, making it easier to budget
  • The freedom to repay early if you want to, with no extra fees

It’s a simple and transparent way to spread the cost of your trip.
