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.

Information Message

Could a different loan amount cut your interest rate?

A small change in the size of your loan could make a big difference to the total interest you pay.

That’s because the interest rate depends not just on your circumstances, but on how much you borrow.
