Buying art, interest free, interested?
If you want an original painting for your home then you can have it, with an interest free loan. Loans are available from £100 up to £2,000 over a period of up to 10 months. You can buy several items at a time or one or more items at different times from different participating artists and galleries, providing the total amount you owe does not exceed £2,000 at any one time.

How do I apply for a loan?
To be eligible for a loan you need to be aged 18 or over, resident in the UK and have a bank account or building society account that can operate standing orders. The artist will help you complete the credit agreement and after satisfactory credit checking, a standing order will set up to make your repayments. Standard terms and conditions apply to the scheme.

Do I have to pay anything up front?
Some artists and galleries may ask you to pay a deposit of 10%. This will be returned if, for any reason, your application is unsuccessful.

Are there any hidden extras?
No - there is no charge for credit (APR 0%). This means the total amount payable under the loan, and the deposit, is not more than the cash price of the piece(s) of work you purchased. There is no administrative charge or handling fee when you take out an interest free loan.
