Fees

Loan Servicing Fee

A Loan Servicing Fee is charged to the borrower and debited from the borrower's account on the Interest Payment Dates:

• 0.07% of the amount borrowed, calculated monthly on an actual calendar day basis and payable per month of the loan term; and
• a fixed fee spread over the term of the loan and paid monthly (for callable loans: a fixed fee, based on a 12-month loan term, paid monthly for the period of time the loan is active)

The fixed fee applicable varies according to the size of the loan, as per this table:

Example: The total fee for  a £200,000 loan with a 18 months term is £5,220*: £200,000 x 0.07%  x 18 = £2,520* plus  £100,000 x 1.4% + £100,000 x 1.3% = £2,700*.

For Loan Renewals the above Loan Servicing Fee applies minus 20%. The maximum term for any loan renewal is 60 months. The minimum renewal term is 3 months.

Prepayment

All or part of a loan can be repaid before maturity; multiple partial repayments are possible if made in different interest payment months. A prepayment fee is payable, which is, for partial prepayments, the total unpaid Loan Servicing Fee for the prepaid loan amount and remaining loan term. For full prepayments, the fee consists of the total unpaid Loan Servicing Fee for the remaining loan term. The prepayment fee is deducted from the borrower's account when the prepayment is processed.

Storage

A storage fee applies for the metal you hold in Approved Vaults. The fee is payable in currency and is deducted monthly in arrears or on the day metal is transferred out of Lend & Borrow Trust. The fee is calculated daily at the following annual rates:
