Products compared here

Among the 20 products compared here, these two are commonly used for the purposes described.

• Cash advance loans: Immediate short-term cash, including the difference between a cash advance on credit and a payday-style advance.
• Lines of credit: A revolving limit you draw on and repay, usually paying interest only on what is outstanding.

How borrowing works locally

A longer amortisation lowers each payment and raises the total interest paid over the life of the loan.

A lender is free to set its own price below the legal ceiling, and it does so according to the risk it reads in the file. Variable-rate products move with a reference rate, while fixed-rate products set the price for a defined term.
