The rate you pay depends on your circumstances, loan amount and term and may differ from the Representative APR. We will never offer you a rate exceeding 29.9% p.a. (fixed), regardless of loan size. This means you're not guaranteed to get the rate you see in the calculator.

Find a little flexibility with our repayment holiday

When you apply for a loan, based on your circumstances, we might give you the opportunity to defer your first repayment. 

  • It's only available at the start of your loan term
  • You can defer your first loan repayment for a three month period
  • If this option is available to you, we'll show the details of your repayment holiday during the quote stage of your application
If you take a loan repayment holiday, your loan will take longer to pay back. You'll also have to pay back more each month - so your loan will cost more. This is because we charge interest during your loan holiday.
