Credit life insurance is not included in these examples. Where required, the premium is disclosed separately in your pre-agreement quote and may not exceed the prescribed limit.

Early settlement is permitted at any time without penalty; interest and service fees are charged only to the settlement date.

Missed payments may attract default administration charges and collection costs limited to the amounts allowed by the NCA, and will be reported to registered credit bureaux.

Prototype note: figures are generated by the same capped calculator used in the application flow, so the disclosure and the quote can never disagree.
