Interest

At the start of the loan, we calculate the total amount of interest payable (total cost of credit) over the term of the loan. We calculate the interest due from each monthly repayment based on the number of days between repayments and the outstanding capital balance. This means we collect a higher proportion of the total interest at the start of the loan, when the capital balance is bigger, and a lower amount towards the end.

If there are delays between repayments, then more interest will accrue during that period. For example, this can happen if the payment date you choose is more than one month after the date you sign your agreement, or if you take a payment holiday that isn't shown in your credit agreement. Although we will never charge more total interest than shown on your credit agreement, this could mean that the rebate you get for settling your loan early is lower, or can go down to zero.

Can I make overpayments?

You can make overpayments which may reduce the amount of interest that you pay.

If you have an existing loan and wish to make additional payments you'll need to call us on 0800 363 400.
