Car Loan Scheme

We operate a national scheme of car loans for all serving clergy, deaconesses and licensed lay workers paid through this office. Unfortunately, we are unable to offer loans to retired clergy. The maximum loan is currently £11,170 and interest is charged at 6% p.a.

If you apply for a loan HM Revenue & Customs will treat any loan granted from this office as a beneficial loan [more details].

Repayments (maximum of 48 months but subject to a reduced term for a vehicle exceeding four years of age) will be deducted at source from stipend [more details]. Before completing the application form we ask that you consider the terms and conditions attached to the loan [more details] which are included on the reverse of the application form. Please do not make an application without considering the terms and conditions attached to the loan. If you have any questions please contact us [more details].

An application form is available from the resources menu on the right hand side of this page. If you wish, you may complete the application form on screen but upon completion you will need to take a print, sign it and forward it to your diocesan / chapter office. Please note that each diocese has an arrangement for countersignature and, in some cases, this may be carried out at your diocesan office or by your Archdeacon. If in doubt please contact your diocesan office before returning the application form. To help us to process the loan without delay please include all of the required information [more details].

Provided the vehicle meets the relevant criteria [more details] and there are no queries with the completed form the application will be considered for approval and once approved we will arrange for a BACS credit to be made as soon as possible (to your account or to the supplier) but please allow up to six working days for your loan to be processed. If you have made arrangements to collect your vehicle please contact us to discuss when the funds will be available to be released. In cases of extreme urgency please contact your diocesan office as they may be able to help.
