Alliance & Leicester personal loans have been given the seal of approval with an award from a consumer magazine.

The readers of Personal Finance & Savings magazine have voted Alliance & Leicester Best Personal Loans Provider for 2005.

The bank beat off stiff competition from several other top high street financial providers to win the top place, whilst Tesco and Halifax came second and third, and Lloyds TSB and Nat West took the eight and ninth positions.

We are delighted to have been voted Best Personal Loan Provider by the readers of Personal Finance & Savings magazine,” said Andy Bayes, head of Alliance & Leicester personal loans.

“We pride ourselves on giving our customers a great loan experience, both in terms of the customer service they receive and great value we offer.”

More than 6,200 readers voted to choose the top banks over a three-month period.

Alliance & Leicester has built on its success, being highly commended in last year’s awards.
