How borrowing works locally

A revolving product charges interest on the outstanding balance, while an instalment product charges a fixed schedule of payments.

A deposit or trade-in reduces the amount financed and therefore the interest charged over the term. Joint applications combine two incomes and two sets of obligations in the same assessment.
