Warning: If you do not meet the repayments on your loan, your account will go into arrears. This may affect your credit rating, which may limit your ability to access credit in the future.
Repayment Example:
A loan of €6,000 over 5 year period would cost €117.69pm at a variable rate of 6% (APR 6.17%). The cost of credit is €942.20 and the total amount repayable is €6,942.20. Variable rates may increase which would cause the cost of credit to increase.
