Questions People Ask
What is the difference between APR and interest rate?
The interest rate is the cost of borrowing the principal. APR (Annual Percentage Rate) includes the interest rate plus fees and other costs, giving a more complete picture of the total cost.
How do I calculate what loan amount I can afford?
Enter different loan amounts with your target monthly payment and adjust until the calculated payment matches your budget.
What is an early repayment charge?
Some loans charge a fee if you repay early because the lender loses the future interest income. Check your loan agreement before making extra repayments.
