A Norton Finance loan can be used just as you like.

Other customers use their cash for home improvements, perhaps a conservatory or loft conversion. Then again, we have many customers who prefer to buy a new car, pay for a luxury holiday or help with their children’s first home or college fees. You decide - and spend your cash exactly as you wish.
