Can I make overpayments on my loan?

When you take out a loan, the amount you’ll pay back each month will be worked out based on the amount you decide to borrow and the period of time in which you choose to pay it back.

But over time your financial situation may change. You may find that you have some extra money each month which you want to use to pay off your loan faster.

All MEGA FINANCE BANK give you this flexibility, allowing you to repay more each month than you originally agreed. We refer to this as an overpayment.

Why make an overpayment?

• Making overpayments will reduce the loan term so you’ll pay it back faster.
• You could also be entitled to a reduction in the total amount of interest owed.

How is the reduction in interest calculated?

You only pay interest on the outstanding balance of any loan so, if you pay back more than you originally agreed each month and pay the loan back earlier than expected, we can recalculate the total amount of interest you’ll pay.

In order to do this you need to let us know in advance that you’d like to start making overpayments.

I want to make an early repayment

If rather than having a little extra every month, you have a one off lump sum which you’d like to use to help repay your loan early, you might also want to learn more about making an early repayment.
