    • No early repayment charges or final lump sum.
    • Choose how much deposit you pay.

Let's break it down

Who it's for

You can apply for HP if you:

  • are at least 18 years old
  • are a UK resident
  • have had a Halifax bank account for at least 3 months.

Lending depends on your status and affordability checks.

How it works

  1. Log in to the app or online banking to get a quote. Choose your deposit amount and term.
  2. Give us some information about you and your finances.
  3. Tell us about the car and the dealership, including their payment details.
  4. We'll give you an instant decision with no effect on your credit score.

We usually transfer the finance amount directly to the dealership on the same day. They could have the money in their account within a few hours. If we send the money after 2.30pm, they’ll receive it before 12 noon the following day.

Let’s take a closer look

  • Before you apply, make sure you have the following information:
    • Dealer's name and postcode.
    • Car registration number.
    • Current and expected yearly mileage.
    • Total price and deposit amount.
    • Your monthly income.
    • Your mortgage or rent payments and regular spending.
    • Existing car finance details, if you have any.
    • The delivery date and full vehicle details, if you don’t know the registration, of any new car.
  • Unlike a personal loan, there aren't any credit searches involved with applying for car finance. We’ll still check your income and any existing financial commitments you may have, to make sure you can afford the repayments.

    With an HP agreement, the debt is secured against the car. This means if you don't make the monthly repayments, you risk us repossessing the car.

  • There’s some restrictions depending on the car’s make, model, age and mileage. As part of your quote, we’ll ask you to enter the details for the car you want to buy. You’ll get an immediate decision on if it’s possible to take car finance out. 

    If you’re looking to finance commercial vehicles, vans, motorcycles, caravans or motorhomes, a personal loan may be more suitable.

  • We don't offer a part exchange service, but you might be able to set up a part exchange directly with the dealership. If they agree, the final price for your new car will include this arrangement. We'll then pay the agreed amount to the dealership as usual.

  • We work with the majority of car dealerships in the United Kingdom. During your car finance application, you'll be able to search by location or post code for your car dealership. 

    If your car dealership doesn’t show in the list, don’t worry. We can usually update it within 24 hours with the details you give us.

    We don't offer car finance for the following dealerships: 

    • Cazoo.
    • Cinch.
    • Motorpoint.
  • The car must be in your name, as the person applying for car finance will be the named registered keeper of the car. You’ll need to:

    • have a valid driving licence permitting you to use the car
    • be the main driver on your car insurance policy.

    If you’d like someone else to use of your car, they'll need to:

    • have a valid driving licence
    • be a named driver on your car insurance policy.
  • We don’t offer a delivery service as part of our car finance. You might be able to arrange this directly with the dealership as part of the sale. Depending on the dealership, they may be able to offer you a contactless delivery service.
