How is the cost of your loan calculated?
Total Amount Payable: This is the amount you will pay if you repay your loan in full over the full term agreed and make all payments on time. The Total Amount Payable consists of:
1) Amount of Credit: How much you request to borrow.
2) Interest: What Lenders will earn for lending you their money. Interest is charged on the amount borrowed and the Carilend Fee.
3) Carilend Fee: This is what you pay Carilend. The fee is spread over the life of your loan and included in your monthly instalment. It covers:
- Arranging and managing your loan (currently J$25,000, inclusive of GCT, in Jamaica)
- The Reserve Fund Contribution which helps protect our Lenders (Varies as a percentage of loan amount depending on your credit score/Risk Grade)
Other Useful Terms to Know:
APR (Annual Percentage Rate): The total cost of your loan as an annual percentage. This is useful to compare loans.
Loan Servicing Share of Interest: The amount we deduct from the interest you pay in every Monthly Instalment to cover the costs of managing your loan (currently set at 30% of the amount of each interest payment).
