Swap & Save Loan
A £9,300 Voyager Alliance Swap & Save Loan, repaid over 36 months will cost £325.58 a month, total amount repaid £11,721.05, total interest £2,421,05 at just 16.9% APR.
Now let’s compare this to Santander’s All in One Credit Card at 27.7% variable.
Using Uswitch’s Credit Card Calculator and keeping monthly repayments at £325.58 a month (the same as Voyager Alliance’s Swap & Save Loan), total interest is £4,885 and this would take you over 3 and a half years to repay!
Some banks and building societies state “Your interest rate will be based on how you manage any accounts you have with us and on the credit information we hold about you”, so people with poor credit may pay even more!
Remember, at Voyager Alliance we use a fixed APR, so the rate you see is the rate you get! By choosing Voyager Alliance’s Swap & Save Loan, you could save yourself £2,463 in interest AND you’ll have cleared your loan 6 months quicker!
