Making an extra payment
Can I make an additional payment to my loan?
You can make overpayments or additional payments to your loan at any time. An overpayment can reduce the total amount of interest you’ll pay.
You'll be charged for repaying your loan in full early:
• You'll pay the outstanding loan amount and any interest.
• You'll be charged an early repayment fee of up to 58 days’ interest or up to 28 days’ interest if you took out your loan for one year or less.
• If there's a shorter period left on your loan, you'll be charged interest for the remaining days.
Instead of paying in full, you can choose to make additional payments on your loan whenever you want. You will be informed of any charges applicable when you make a payment, so you can make a decision before you proceed.
Getting a settlement figure and closing your loan
How do I get a settlement figure for my loan and close it?
The quickest way to get a settlement figure and pay off your loan account is via the mobile app.
1. Download and log in to our mobile app.
2. Tap on your 'loan account'.
3. Tap 'See payment options'.
4. Tap 'Repay in full'.
5. Your settlement quote including any early repayment fees will be shown in the journey (you will be able to download a PDF).
6. If you then decide to pay off your loan, you can by following the on-screen instructions.
It’s important to remember that if you repay your loan early, you will be charged an Early Repayment Fee.
The amount you will be charged will be equal to 58 days’ interest on the amount you repay early (28 days’ interest if the period of the loan is one year or less). If there is less than 58 days (or 28 days if applicable) remaining on the loan, the calculation will be based on the actual number of days remaining. This is in addition to your outstanding loan amount and any outstanding interest.
Changing loan payment date
How do I change my loan payment date?
You might want to change your loan payment date if you've recently started a new job and your salary date has been changed.

Your monthly payment amount may rise or fall after you change the date we collect the money from you.
Making changes will alter your loan term slightly, which will impact the total amount of interest you pay.
We’ll show you what your new monthly payment will be in app before you go ahead with the change.
