To give you a better idea of how a RateSetter loan could work, here's the representative example:

If you took out a loan of £10,000 over five years at a fixed interest rate of 2.3% per year (4.9% APR representative), your monthly repayment would be $187.94 and your total repayment amount would be $11,276.40. This includes a fee of $638. The majority of our customers receive the advertised APR or lower. The maximum APR you could be offered is 29.9%.

Loans are subject to status and affordability, and the rate and fee you pay will depend on your credit profile. Before entering into a loan agreement, make sure you read the terms and conditions carefully.
