BALANCED PAYMENTS FINANCE EXPLAINED

What is Balanced Payments Car Finance?

A Balanced Payment Plan offers the benefits of a fixed monthly payment but unlike a Hire purchase agreement where the interest rate is fixed, Balanced Payments offer a variable rate which tracks the changes in the lender’s reference rate. As the rate goes up or down over the period of the contract, so does the amount of interest you pay.

Following payment of an initial deposit, the balance is then paid over an agreed term, usually 1 – 5 years. At the end of the agreement any variation in interest rates is reconciled and will be settled as either a credit to you, or a charge. Other options available with a Balanced Payment Plan include a final ‘balloon’ payment which has the benefit of reducing your monthly payments by deferring an agreed element of capital until the end.
