This was discussed on Newstalk this morning but I can't find any details on the Tesco web site.Has anyone any links or details to the same?
Me too. Applied last Wed. Still no decision. Advised today that due to the backlog of applications they couldn't tell me with any certainty when my application would be processed (Tesco claim 2 days on their website).

I applied for a tesco loan yesterday. The guy on the phone said that he worked for Ulster Bank after I told him my current account was with UB. He could see all the transactions in my current account. He then told me that Ulster Bank had a better rate and that he could offer me the loan from Ulster Bank instead of Tesco. I then went to my UB branch as it would still take 2 weeks to process the documentation if done over the phone. He said the delays are due to the postal exchange of signed forms. I got the loan at 5.8%. It was approved immediately by someone in a back office somewhere and lodged to my account there and then. I had to sign up for ufirst but it was worth it.
I can't imagine tesco being too happy about UB staff selling their own products when customers ring up the Tesco loan line. Too bad for tesco but great for me.
