How interest rate works
Interest is calculated daily based on the outstanding balance. Our rates and fees always include the interest rates that are fixed for the loan term — so you know exactly what to expect.
- Interest rates are fixed for the loan term and are based on the outstanding balance.
- By dividing the annual interest rate by 365, the daily interest rate is determined.
- Comparison rates vary from 65-66% depending on the size of the loan.
Keep in mind that you may incur additional fees and charges each time you miss a payment, and this may affect the length of your loan and therefore change your payday loan cost.
