Representative APR example: Borrow £300 for 30 days. The total charge for credit is £75. Interest is fixed at a rate of £25 per £100 loan. The Total Repayable is £375. Representative 1286% APR. The APR includes important factors such as the interest rate you must pay; how you repay the loan; the length of the loan agreement (or term); frequency and timing of instalment payments and amount of each payment. Payday advances should be used for short-term financial needs only, not as a long-term financial solution. Customers with credit difficulties should seek credit counselling.
The APR% for Payday Loans may seem quite high at first glance. Taking into account that all setup fees and administrative costs are included and since most Payday Loans are paid over a period of no more than 70 days a yearly APR% might be misleading.In most cases taking a payday loan is much cheaper than paying overdraft penalties, bounced cheques or unpaid bill charges.
