Your loan

Why has my balance changed when I have not borrowed more?

It can be surprising to see your loan balance move when your company has not drawn any further funds. In almost every case there is a straightforward explanation, and your statement will show it line by line.

Common reasons

The most frequent cause is interest accruing. Interest is charged over time on the capital outstanding, at the rate in your offer, so a balance can edge up between payments even with no new borrowing. The other common cause is a payment clearing, which reduces the balance once it settles.

  • Interest accruing on outstanding capital
  • A payment clearing and reducing the balance
  • A scheduled charge applied under your agreement

Timing effects

Balances also appear to jump around payment dates. Just before a payment is collected the balance may look higher; just after it clears, lower. This is normal and settles into a clear downward trend over the term.
