In one of most competitive and closest races of this year’s awards, MBNA Limited was named “Personal Loans Provider of the Year”, ahead of a host of other banks and lenders. This was MBNA Limited’s second win in a row, having first appeared in the top three in 2023, and it narrowly beat the second-placed provider to take the victory.
While MBNA Limited is perhaps most well known for its credit cards, it has expanded its offerings and provides personal loans, alongside a range of other products and services. When managed effectively, personal loans can be a valuable resource for consumers who need to spread the cost of an expensive purchase, such as a new car or holiday, or want to pay for home improvements, for example. As consumer feedback helped MBNA Limited secure victory at the Moneyfactscompare.co.uk Awards 2026, the lender has clearly impressed its customers with its services.
MBNA is a UK -based financial services company specializing in credit cards, personal loans and digital banking, now operating as a subsidiary of Lloyds Banking Group. Based in Chester since 1993, MBNA was originally founded in 1982 as part of Maryland National Bank.
