Early Settlement (Full Prepayment)

Settlement Fee: $40

We may have suffered a Loss if your current interest rate is lower than the interest rate applying to this Credit Agreement or if we cannot immediately re-lend this prepayment.

An amount to compensate us for the loss we incur on the full prepayment is calculated according to the following formula.

[a x (b - c)]   x   __d__
         100            365

Where;
a = The principal sum outstanding at the prepayment date
b = annual interest rate under your agreement
c = Westpac 90 bank bill rate current at the date of prepayment 
d = The lessor of the number of days between the prepayment date and the date of the final payment under the agreement; or 90 days.

This calculation meets the requirements of the Credit Contracts and Consumer Finance Act2003. However, it is not a statutory procedure prescribed in the Credit Contracts and Consumer Finance Regulations 2004.
