How long will it take to repay with the Save The Children Standard Visa

Fixed payment
By switching to the Save The Children Standard Visa, you could pay off £1000 in by budgeting £50 each month. This would effectively cost you £50.
Minimum payment
By comparison, if you only make the minimum payment each month, it would take 28 years and 7 months to repay, costing you a total of £3,192 on top of the original balance!
If this seems high, that's because your minimum payment is calculated as a percentage of your balance. This means each payment will be slightly lower than the month before which will have less effect on clearing your balance. So be smart and pay as much as you can afford!
