What was the duration of a WageDayAdvance loan?

WageDayAdvance offer two types of loan. The WageDayAdvance loan is a short-term loan for a minimum of 21 days for a duration of between one and three months. You decide the loan term that works for you, allowing you enough time to comfortably make your repayments.

If you borrow for one month and want to extend your loan beyond the agreed duration then you may defer payment for one month, paying only the interest on the original due date. The following month you will be required to repay your loan in full, including the original amount borrowed and remaining interest charges. This means that your final repayment will be higher than your previous one.

If you wish to borrow a larger amount over a longer period and spread the repayments equally, then the Advance Plus loan offers a minimum duration of 21 days and a duration of four, five or six months.

How much credit can you apply for?

Can I repay my WageDayAdvance loan early?

Early repayment reduces the daily interest charges and therefore the overall interest that you pay back on top of the original amount borrowed.
