Help and support Common merchant loan questions

How do I repay the loan?

Loan repayments are automatically deducted daily from your merchant settlement account. The daily repayment amount is calculated as a percentage of your daily merchant sales, aligning your loan repayments to your actual cashflow. This means if sales are slow your repayments will be lower, and no repayment is deducted when you are closed or have no sales. You can select a payment percentage between 10% and 30% when you apply.

Can I change my repayment percentage or increase my loan value?

No. Once the loan contracts have been signed you cannot change the repayment percentage or increase your loan value. When you apply, make sure you select a repayment percentage that suits your cashflow.

However, you are able to make additional repayments to pay down the loan faster, but you will be unable to increase your loan or redraw once the loan has been established.
