How much will a payday loan cost me?

This will depend entirely on the lender and the costs they outline. It’s important to understand not just the interest that your loan will accumulate but in addition, you should consider other fees. A reputable company will outline its costs in a transparent manner. 

At Nimble, we work very hard to be as transparent as possible. We do this because we want to be sure you can repay your loan. Below is an outline of an example of what a Nimble loan could cost.

Nimble Small Loan [H3]

For our Small Loans of $2,000 or less, an APR (Annual Percentage Rate) doesn't apply. These loans are fee-based only, and so they don't have an APR. The establishment fee is 20% of the amount borrowed and the monthly fee is 4% of the amount borrowed. For example, a loan of $1,000 repaid over 3 months equates to a total amount payable of $1,320 comprised of $1,000 principal (amount borrowed), $200 establishment fee and $120 in monthly fees.

Nimble Medium Loan [H3]

For our Medium Loans between $2,050 and $5,000, the Annual Percentage Rate (APR) is 47.6158% (Comparison rate 65.6597% p.a.**) and there is a $400 Establishment Fee. A Medium Loan of $3,000 borrowed over 1 year would equate to a total amount payable of $4,289 (including a $400 establishment fee). This comparison rate is based on a Medium Loan of $2,500 for an amount over 2 years and a $400 establishment fee.

In addition to understanding how interest rate is calculated on your payday loan, it’s also a good idea to have a solid understanding of fee structure. The Nimble Fee Statement provides up to date and transparent information on how our fees work.
