Prospa Line of Credit Funding your way

• A Weekly Service Fee is charged from the date of Settlement.
• Interest, but you only pay interest on the funds you have drawn down, and only until you repay those funds. Interest is charged at a fixed rate, calculated daily based on your drawn balance (i.e. the amount of your facility that has been drawn down and not repaid), and interest is charged weekly. The facility limit of your Line of Credit, and your interest rate, will be based on our assessment of your business.
• Every week we will attempt to Direct Debit your business account for the repayment amount owing that week, any unsuccessful attempt will attract a $25 Dishonour Fee, as well as a Late Payment Fee.

Prospa’s Line of Credit gives you access to a convenient and flexible source of funds between $2K to $150K and you only pay interest on what you use.

Your Line of Credit will be available for a period of 24 months. If you wish to extend your Line of Credit beyond this period, you will be required to apply so we can properly re-assess your business situation in case anything has changed.

On or before the end of the 24 month term you can choose from the following options:

• RENEW your Line of Credit for a further 24 month term.
  We will need to complete a new assessment to check whether there have been any changes in your business. If you are approved, you can also review your facility limit based on your business’s current needs.
• CLOSE your Line of Credit and repay the outstanding balance.
  You can repay the entire outstanding balance at the end of the term in a lump sum payment or over 52 weeks on a repayment plan (if you are eligible). This would start immediately after your Line of Credit term finishes. Access to the facility would be suspended, and the outstanding balance divided into 52 instalments which would be direct debited from your bank account each week along with that week’s accrued interest and Weekly Service Fee until your outstanding balance is paid down to $0. Interest will accrue on the outstanding balance throughout the 52 weeks at the same rate as your Line of Credit. To be eligible for the 52-week repayment plan you must not be in arrears at the end of your Line of Credit term.

If you do not select an option on or before the date on which the term ends or you apply for and are not approved for a term extension, your Line of Credit will be closed and, if eligible, you will be placed on the 52-week repayment plan.

We will set up an automatic repayment schedule with set weekly repayments over 24 months. The weekly repayment will comprise interest and a portion of principal as well as any applicable fees, such as the Weekly Service Fee.

So that you don’t need to worry about missing a payment, your weekly repayments will be automatically debited from your nominated business bank account.

You can choose to simply pay the set weekly repayments, or you can make additional payments at any time to reduce your drawn balance, thus reducing the amount of interest you pay. It’s up to you.

We understand that circumstances can change. That’s why we offer a 14-day Change of Mind Policy. If you decide you no longer want the funds, you can cancel your loan agreement and return the funds free of charge, as long as it’s within 14 days of your loan agreement date.

To take advantage of this policy, simply contact one of our lending specialists at +64 800 005 797, and we’ll assist you with the process.

If it’s been more than 14 days since your loan agreement date, you still have the option to pay off your loan in full to minimise interest costs. However, please note that fees and charges will still apply. For assistance with a full payout, reach out to our lending specialists at +64 800 005 797.
