What to know before you apply

Take a look at our borrowing options guide to compare loans, overdrafts and credit cards to help you find the type of borrowing that best fit your needs.

Information Message

You can repay your loan early

It’s important to remember that if you repay your loan early, you will be charged an Early Repayment Fee. The amount you will be charged will be equal to 58 days’ interest on the amount you repay early (28 days’ interest if the period of the Loan is one year or less). If there is less than 58 days (or 28 days if applicable) remaining on the loan, the calculation will be based on the actual number of days remaining. This is in addition to your outstanding loan amount and any outstanding interest.
