The rate you pay depends on your circumstances, loan amount and term and may differ from the Representative APR. We will never offer you a rate exceeding 29.9% p.a. (fixed), regardless of loan size. This means you're not guaranteed to get the rate you see in the calculator.

How long could you borrow for?

You could pay back your loan over one to 10 years – it depends how much you’re borrowing and what you’re borrowing for.

How to top up your loan?

Option 1: Replace your existing loan(s)

  • Get one bigger loan that pays off your existing Royal Bank loan(s) - and gives you the extra money you need. 
  • You'll have just one fixed-rate loan payment, so it's easy to manage.
  • You'll have a new interest rate, which might be more than the interest on your existing loan.
  • You'll need to pay an early repayment fee. This will be included in the amount needed to pay off your old loan.

Option 2: Apply for a separate loan

  • You'll keep your existing Royal Bank loan – which will stay the same, with the same interest rate.
  • Then apply for a second Royal Bank loan for any additional borrowing you want.
  • Each loan will have its own interest rate and a different number of years to pay it back over.

Take a break with a 3-month repayment holiday

Take a break with a 3-month repayment holiday

  • At the start of your application, we'll give you a quote. This might include the option to take a repayment holiday.
  • You could then choose to delay your first payment by 3 months.
  • You'll need to say if you want to take a repayment holiday before you start your loan. 

If you take a loan repayment holiday, your loan will take longer to pay back. You'll also have to pay back more each month - so your loan will cost more. This is because we charge interest during your loan holiday.
