You may settle the loan at any time before the term expires and interest will be calculated and applied to give you a settlement figure. Interest is calculated and applied monthly to the loan on the day of signing the agreement at the beginning of each contract month and if you redeem early interest will be charged to the end of the contract month in which you redeem. Any loan is subject to us approving your application and you signing a formal credit agreement.
