Interest Only
You could reduce your monthly repayments for six months by paying interest only.
- The total amount you owe will go up. This is because your interest costs increase as a larger amount of your loan is outstanding for longer and you're repaying your loan over a longer period.
- This option is available up to three times during the term of your Bounce Back loan.
Sorry, an 'Interest Only' can only be applied for three times during the term of your Bounce Back Loan, therefore you can't continue with this application. Please consider the other options available to you.
Either confirm you have not already extended the term to the maximum of 10 years, or reselect your options without a term extension.
Selecting extend the term to 10 years when you have already exercised this PAYG option may extend the processing time of your current application by several days.
Payment Holiday
You could take a payment holiday for six months.
- You'll make no capital repayments or interest payments during this time.
- The total you owe will go up. This is because your interest costs increase as interest accrues during the payment holiday, a larger amount of your loan is outstanding for longer and you're repaying your loan over a longer period.
- This option is available once during the term of your Bounce Back Loan.
Either confirm you have not already extended the term to the maximum of 10 years, or reselect your options without a term extension.
Selecting extend the term to 10 years when you have already exercised this PAYG option may extend the processing time of your current application by several days.

Term Extension
If you're only able to repay a smaller amount each month you could request an extension of your loan term from six years to 10 years at the same interest rate.
- Extending to 10 years would reduce monthly payments on your loan.
- You'll accrue more interest, so the total amount repayable on your loan would increase.
- If you're considering this option, you should think carefully about your ability to repay over a longer timeframe, taking into account such things as if you intend to cease trading or retire within the revised term of your Bounce Back Loan.
Either confirm you have not already extended the term to the maximum of 10 years, or consider other Pay As You Grow options still available to you.
Selecting extend the term to 10 years when you have already exercised this PAYG option may extend the processing time of your current application by several days.
