Comparing the cost of two loans
How should transfer charges enter a repayment comparison?
A repayment sent through another service may incur costs outside the lender's advertised schedule. Identify what amount must arrive and how collection or conversion charges are handled.
Keep provider charges and transfer costs in separate lines before comparing a scenario. Do not assume that sending the instalment amount guarantees receipt of that full amount.
