Payment Breakdown

If you have an Outstanding Balance, you’ll have to make Minimum Payments. Each Minimum Payment includes:

Mandatory
Principal
Contribution

 + 

Billing
Cycle
Charge

 = 

Minimum
Payment

Minimum Payments can be due on a bi-weekly, semi-monthly or monthly basis, depending on your income frequency. The exact amount of each Minimum Payment will vary depending on the activity on your account. Refer to your periodic statements, which are sent before each due date, for specific details.

Billing Cycle Charges

Each Minimum Payment includes a Billing Cycle Charge, which is calculated based on your Average Daily Principal Balance for each Billing Cycle. The Average Daily Principal Balance is determined by adding the daily principal balance for each day in the billing cycle, and dividing that sum by the total number of days in that billing cycle. See below for an example of a Billing Cycle Charge table.

Mandatory Principal Contribution

A portion of each Minimum Payment goes towards your principal balance. The Mandatory Principal Contribution will vary depending on your income frequency. Refer to your Line of Credit Agreement, or any amendments, for more details.

Making Extra Payments

There are no penalties for making extra payments above your Minimum Payments. In fact, it will help reduce your principal balance and also decrease the amount of Billing Cycle Charges over time, subject to your individual account activity. You can make additional payments by logging into your online account or by contacting us during our operational hours.
