Interest
The interest rates are 29.95% for loans with security or refinanced from existing loans, new unsecured loans are also 29.95%. The rate is fixed for the whole of the contract. Interest charges are calculated by multiplying the unpaid balance at the end of the day by a daily interest rate. The daily interest rate is calculated by dividing the annual interest rate by 365. Interest is charged when instalments fall due.
