Our interest rates and repayment types explained
Understanding the different types of interest rates and repayment options for your loan will help you make an informed choice.
-
A fixed rate allows you to lock in your rate for a period of time, which can help plan your cash flow and protect against interest rates rises. During the fixed rate period, your rate won’t change. Your rate will automatically switch to a variable rate at the end of the fixed rate period. Additional repayments and redraw are not permitted during the fixed rate period.
A variable rate can go either up or down over the life of the loan – this means your minimum repayment may change. You can make additional repayments which can help reduce the interest you pay over the life of the loan. A variable rate loan also gives you access to a redraw facility which allows you to draw upon any additional repayments you have made if you need money unexpectedly.
-
A principal and interest (P&I) loan may be obtained with either a fixed or variable rate and with loan terms of up to 30 years. You can tailor your repayments to suit your business with the choice of monthly, quarterly, half yearly or annual options available. A P&I loan can also include an initial interest only period which may help you manage your cash flow.
An interest only loan allows you to make interest repayments only during the loan term with the remaining loan balance (the principal) being paid at the end of the term. You can choose a fixed interest rate for a period to protect against rate rises or the option to pay fixed rate interest in advance giving you price certainty. Loan terms up to five years are available.
