What is a Pawnbroking Loan?
A Pawnbroking Loan is a short-term loan secured against items of gold, silver, diamond jewellery or quality watches. The amount of the loan is dependent on the item(s) provided as security.
Simply take an item of value in to your local Ramsdens branch, our trained staff will value your item and agree a loan amount with you that you feel comfortable about repaying. We give you the cash and keep your items safe and secure until you come back to repay your loan.
During the term of the loan you can make payments of any amount and at any time to suit you. By making these payments you will reduce the cost of your loan. Interest accrues on a daily basis and our representative APR is 154.08% for a primary 6 month loan term. When you make your final payment to repay the loan you will receive your item(s) back.
Ramsdens also provide Pawnbroking Loans to small and medium size business owners.
How much can you borrow against your item(s)?
At Ramsdens you can borrow from £10 to £100,000 subject to the assessment of your item(s). Ramsdens could lend up to 75% of the pre-owned item value dependent on the quality of the item(s).

What is an APR?
An APR (Annual Percentage Rate) is the cost of credit expressed as a yearly rate. A Pawnbroking Loan is not designed to be a long-term loan. A Pawnbroking Loan charges interest daily which means the cost of credit could work out to be cheaper than unauthorised bank fees. (Representative APR 154.08%)
What happens if the loan is not repaid?
In the event of you being unable to repay your pawnbroking loan, your item(s) will be sold in order to repay the amount outstanding. If the proceeds of the sale are greater than the amount due under the loan, including the costs incurred for selling the items, these monies will be repaid to you.
