How it works

Financial products work in different ways, with different features like fee structures and time periods for payments, so it’s hard to compare “apples to apples”.


The below table compares the estimated 12-month cost from fees and interest of a credit card with a Beforepay loan to highlight the effect of revolving debt vs non-revolving debt.


The calculations assume usage over 12 months and are based on having $2,000 of revolving debt on a credit card (assuming no new purchases are made in this period and only minimum repayments are applied), compared to $2,000 borrowed over a year with Beforepay. Note that Beforepay advances are for a duration of 62 days only.


The credit card interest and fees used in this example are based on the average amount found among several credit card products.* Applicable fees and interest rates are estimates only, they are not representative of every product offering on the market.
