What is interest?
Interest is a charge that accrues over time and is calculated by applying a rate to the unpaid balance under a contract. This means that you need to pay a percentage of your balance for borrowing money. Interest charges for each day are calculated by applying the daily percentage rate to the balance owing on your loan account at the end of that day.
What happens if I miss a payment?
If you miss a payment you will be charged:
- Interest that was deferred from the previous month;
- Interest that has accrued on the balance for this month;
- A late fee will be applied to the account (motor loans: $40, personal loans: $35);
- These interest charges will appear on the statement for the period where you miss a payment;
- When you again pay in full, you will be charged interest up until the date your payment is made.
What is a late payment fee?
A late payment fee may be payable in the event that you do not pay in full any amount that is due and payable (e.g. your minimum monthly payment) by your agreed due date.

How can I reduce interest?
