Fixed Rate Loan

Fixed Rate Loan Terms

Terms are 3, 5, 7, 10 or 15 years, with a maximum of 25 years. The longer the fixed rate loan term, the smaller your monthly repayments, you’ll pay more back overall though.

Fixed rate of interest over the life of the loan. This might end up costing you more than our Variable Rate if interest rates go down. 

Your interest rate consists of a Fixed Core Rate and a Risk Margin.

Fixed Rate Loan Fees

Arrangement fees may apply. It will depend on how much you want to borrow and for how long.

Any security fee will be charged in accordance with our Security Fee tariff/policy.

Depending on the amount and term of your loan you can:

• Pay the capital and interest combined
• Pay the capital only (interest will be applied to the servicing account)
• Pay the interest only, and repay the capital at the end of the term.

You could take a repayment holiday at the start of the loan, or during a Family First event

You could choose to have a capital repayment holiday of up to 6 months for a Family First event, you’ll still need to pay the interest, and switch back to a full repayment after that

During any Capital Repayment Holiday where you take a break from paying off the principle of the loan, the interest must still be paid into a servicing account

Interest will accrue during any repayment holiday, so it may take longer to repay the loan and cost more in the long run

Capital Repayment Holidays are subject to credit approval and payments may increase afterwards

The biggest advantage is the stability of your monthly payments thanks to a fixed interest rate on the loan. It reduces your risk of being exposed to higher interest rates in the future, giving you a certainty in borrowing costs.

Another advantage is the range of repayment options we offer, meaning you can tailor the loan to best suit your business needs.

You can choose to pay the capital and interest combined, pay the capital only (interest will be applied to the servicing account) or pay the interest only, and repay the capital at the end of the term.
