How to Repay a CreditBar Loan

CreditBar supports the following repayment methods:

• Debit order / DebiCheck
• Manual EFT
• Online payment

With DebiCheck, the borrower first approves the debit order through their bank. The agreed repayment is then collected automatically on the due date.

Payments are allocated first to outstanding interest, then to fees and charges, and finally to the principal debt.

Early Repayment and Late Payments

Early repayment

A CreditBar loan can be repaid early. Early settlement can reduce the total interest cost, and no early repayment penalty is charged.

Late payment

If a repayment is missed:

• additional fees may apply;
• the borrower’s credit score may be affected;
• the outstanding amount remains payable.

Borrowers experiencing repayment difficulties should contact CreditBar as soon as possible to discuss available repayment options.
