Payday loans explained
Payday Loans have gained popularity in recent times, such loans are also known as High-Cost Short Term Loans which are available online. Payday loans are typically for amounts between £100 – £1000 over a short term, usually repayable within 1-6 months.
Loan repayments are often taken via Continuous Payment Authority (CPA) which is different from taking payments via Direct Debit. Unlike the Direct Debit scheme, CPA payments do not provide guarantees to the borrower where there is a dispute.
Payday Loan charges and interest rate
Most Payday lenders provide loans at the FCA price cap which is currently set to a daily interest rate of 0.8%, this means you will be charged around 1200% APR for a payday loan which is the maximum legal amount a Payday lender can charge you! Payday lenders charge the maximum interest rates because they are commercial companies who are looking to make maximum profit and pay out dividends to their shareholders.
