BBLS Pay As You Grow

Options for customers with an existing Bounce Back Loan

Pay interest only for six months (available up to three times during the term of your Bounce Back Loan). The total you owe would go up. This is because your interest costs increase as a larger amount of your loan is outstanding for longer.
Take a payment holiday for six months (available once during the term of your Bounce Back Loan). Interest on your borrowing will still accrue during a payment holiday period. The total you owe would go up. This is because your interest costs increase as interest accrues during the payment holiday and a larger amount of your loan is outstanding for longer.
Extend the term of your BBL from 6 years to 10 years. The total you owe would go up. This is because a larger amount of your loan is outstanding for longer.
