How Can I Reduce the Amount of Interest I Pay?

Modified on Thu, 2 Jul at 12:18 PM

The amount of interest you pay depends on how long you borrow for.

In general:

  • Shorter loan terms mean less interest paid overall

  • Longer loan terms mean more interest paid overall

Because of this, if you can afford to repay your loan more quickly, you'll usually pay less in total.

Paying Early

You can make extra payments or repay your loan early at any time.

There are no penalty fees for paying your loan off early.

The sooner you repay your loan, the less interest you'll pay overall.
