Extensions Extensions should not be used as a long-term financial solution. Extensions are not automatically granted, and we will consider your extension request based on the information you provide and your current financial situation. If you have a one-period loan and are eligible to apply for an extension, you can log into your account and select the "Get More Time" button or call our Customer Service team. By extending your loan, you will incur additional finance charges. You will only owe a finance charge on your original due date, which is typically your next pay date. (However, we suggest you pay as much of your principal as possible on your next pay date to reduce further charges.) The principal of your existing loan will then be 'rolled over' into a new loan. You will pay the loan amount and finance charge of this new loan on your following due date, which is typically your following pay date. Extensions, partial payment and early payoff requests must be received by 17:00, at least three working days prior to your due date. For more information on extensions, visit our FAQ page.
Transparency and Minimal Fees QuickQuid payday loan terms are transparent and contain absolutely no hidden fees. While other lenders may charge extra fees that increase short-term loan costs, QuickQuid charges:
NO application fee NO fast funding fee NO monthly account maintenance fees NO collection fees NO post default interest
QuickQuid payday loans only require a flat finance charge when you pay by your due date. Customers that pay late do incur a default fee of £12, one of the lowest in the industry. Your bank may also charge a Non-Sufficient Fund (NSF) fee if we debit your bank account and you have insufficient funds. All charges are clearly defined and presented to every customer prior to signing the payday loan agreement. These practices affirm our commitment to transparent lending.

Understanding APR Our QuickQuid site displays Representative 1734% APR for our short-term loans, and many of our customers ask us what it means. We know why you are asking, as APR may not make complete sense for our short-term payday loans. Below we’ll try to clarify APR for you by defining it, explaining why we provide it and showing an example of how APR would apply to other short-term services.
What is APR? Annual percentage rate (APR) represents the interest and fees used to repay a loan, calculated on an annualised basis. Based on the UK Consumer Credit Act of 1974, APR must be disclosed for all regulated loans prior to the credit application being finalised. The APR calculation includes factors such as:
Interest rate Length of the loan agreement Frequency of payments and amount of each payment Same-day funding fees Certain fees associated with the loan1
But, the APR may not include all loan costs — for example, fees for late or missed payments or recovery fees.
Confused? You are not alone! In June 2010, an OFT report stated:
“Many consumers find APRs a confusing measure of cost and find the total repayment amount a simpler and more understandable measure.”3
And perhaps even more direct:
“APR is not the most suitable method to use to control prices of credit.”3
Just imagine if annual rates were used in everyday life...
Total Cost of Credit — Less Confusing for Short-Term Loans Your loan is for a set duration with fixed finance charges between £10 and £14.75 per £50 borrowed. There are no extra charges or hidden fees. Depending on your rate tier, here is what you would pay for a 30-day QuickQuid loan:
We Hope This Has Helped APR can be a confusing way to explain the cost of a 30-day loan, especially since APR is meant to describe the cost of a loan borrowed over an entire year. Remember, UK law requires us to list the APR simply for the fact that it’s a financial product. So when you see our APR and cringe at the number of digits, remember that though the APR listed is high, the actual cost of a cash advance isn’t so high, and probably cheaper than the alternatives, like overdrawing your current account. 1. “A Better Deal For Consumers”, Department for Business Innovation & Skills, December 2009, p. 31. 2. “Credit charges and APR”, Office of Fair Trading, May 2001, p. 9. 3. “Personal current accounts in the UK”, Office of Fair Trading, July 2008, Annexe C, p.21.
