Terms, costs and how they change
Interest on Newcredit loans varies with the length of the loan and the specific product selected. Shorter terms generally produce lower total interest, while longer repayment periods increase the total cost. The stated APR band (24%–54%) reflects this variability — borrowers should review the exact rate offered during application since it will determine the final amount due.
Example calculation
To illustrate the cost, consider borrowing ₦100,000 for six months at a 4% monthly interest rate:
- Interest for the period: ₦100,000 × 0.04 × 6 = ₦24,000
- Total amount to repay: ₦100,000 + ₦24,000 = ₦124,000
This is an example only; your quoted rate and final repayment will depend on the term you choose and the rate applied at approval.
