Loan repayment holidays

When you find that things aren't going to plan, then a bit of financial flexibility can sometimes help.

You can do this online providing you:

  • have made at least one repayment, and have a Direct Debit in place.
  • are up-to-date with your loan repayments.
  • have 30 days or more remaining on your loan term.

Interest will be charged if you take a repayment holiday.

You will pay more interest overall and the original term will extend.

Steps to take

We’ll guide you through it.

    1. Log on and select the loan account you want to pay. Then select the three-dot menu.
    2. Select Repayment Holiday, which will display if you are eligible.
    3. If eligible, enter your password and click Request Payment Holiday.

    If you want the repayment holiday to apply to your next payment, apply online at least five working days before it is due.

  • Repayment holidays aren’t intended to help solve money troubles. If you are struggling to make your monthly repayments, please call us and we'll talk through options with you. See more information on our Money worries page.

    A repayment holiday will extend the length of your loan. We will continue to charge interest on your outstanding loan balance, so you will pay more interest overall. We will advise you of the additional interest that will apply when you call.
