Every Breezy Loan Fee Explained in Full

Below is a plain-language explanation of each fee, when it applies, how it is calculated, and what it means for your total loan cost.

Establishment Fee

20% of loan amount — charged once

The establishment fee is a one-time charge applied when your loan is set up. It covers the cost of processing your application, verifying your financial information, preparing your loan contract, and disbursing funds to your account.

The fee is calculated as 20% of your approved loan amount and is typically deducted from the funds at the time of disbursement or added to the total amount owing, depending on how your loan contract is structured. It is disclosed upfront in your loan contract before you sign.

The establishment fee is not charged again at any point during the loan term. It is a single, one-off cost applied only at the start of the loan.

Worked Examples
$5,000 loan$1,000 establishment fee
$10,000 loan$2,000 establishment fee
$20,000 loan$4,000 establishment fee
$50,000 loan$10,000 establishment fee

Monthly Fee

4% of loan amount — charged monthly

The monthly fee is an ongoing charge applied each month throughout the life of your loan. It is calculated as 4% of the original loan amount — not the outstanding balance — and is the same fixed dollar figure each month from the first repayment to the last.

For example, on a $10,000 loan the monthly fee is $400 per month. This amount does not decrease over time as the principal reduces, because it is based on the original loan amount rather than the current outstanding balance.

The monthly fee is incorporated into your scheduled repayment amount. You do not pay it separately. Your loan contract shows the exact monthly fee amount applicable to your loan, and this figure is confirmed before you sign.

Monthly Fee by Loan Amount
$5,000 loan$200 per month
$10,000 loan$400 per month
$20,000 loan$800 per month
$50,000 loan$2,000 per month

Dishonour Fee

$27.50 — only if a payment fails

A dishonour fee of $27.50 is charged when a scheduled direct debit repayment cannot be processed due to insufficient funds in your nominated bank account. This fee covers the administrative cost of processing the failed payment and attempting re-collection.

The most effective way to avoid this fee is to ensure your nominated account has sufficient funds on or before each scheduled repayment date. Because repayments are aligned with your payday, this is typically straightforward to manage — your income arrives and your repayment processes the same or next day.

If you believe a payment may fail due to a timing issue or unexpected expense, contact the Breezy team as early as possible before the scheduled date so we can work with you on an alternative arrangement.

No Early Repayment Fee

$0 — repay early and save

You may repay your Breezy personal loan in full at any time before the scheduled end date without incurring any fee or penalty. This applies regardless of how early you repay — whether after one month or one week before the end of your term.

Early repayment also results in a genuine financial saving. Because interest and monthly fees accrue only for the periods the loan is outstanding, settling early stops those charges from continuing to accumulate. The payout figure is calculated on the outstanding principal and accrued charges to the settlement date only.

To arrange early repayment, contact the Breezy team and we will calculate your exact settlement figure and guide you through the process. There are no administrative hurdles to clearing your loan ahead of schedule.

What Breezy Will Never Charge You

Many lenders include fees that are easy to miss. Breezy does not charge any of the following, and never will.

Early Repayment Fee

Application Fee

Submitting an application costs nothing. You are not charged to apply.

Processing Fee

There is no separate fee for processing your paperwork or verifying your information.

Closing your loan account at any point carries no exit or account closure fee.

Account Keeping Fee

There is no ongoing account management or administration fee separate from the disclosed monthly fee.

Redraw Fee

Breezy personal loans are not revolving credit products and do not have redraw features or associated fees.

Rate Lock Fee

Your interest rate is fixed automatically at approval. There is no fee to lock in your rate.

Late Payment Penalty

A dishonour fee of $27.50 applies to failed payments, but there is no separate late payment penalty on top of that.

In Your Contract

How Fees Are Disclosed in Your Loan Contract

Under the National Consumer Credit Protection Act, all fees must be disclosed before a loan contract is signed. Here is exactly how Breezy presents this information to you.

1

Loan Schedule

Your loan contract includes a schedule that lists the approved loan amount, the applicable interest rate, the loan term, the repayment frequency, and the exact scheduled repayment amount. The establishment fee and monthly fee are both itemised in this schedule.

2

Total Amount Payable

The contract also states the total amount payable over the full loan term, which includes the principal, total interest, establishment fee, and all monthly fees combined. You can see the full cost of the loan in a single figure before you commit.

3

Fee Disclosure Statement

A separate fee disclosure statement outlines each fee by name, the amount or formula used to calculate it, and when it applies. This is presented alongside the contract and must be read and acknowledged before signing.

4

No Post-Signing Surprises

Once you sign your contract, no new fees can be introduced. The fees in your signed contract are the only fees that will ever apply to your loan. If any fee listed in this guide does not appear in your contract, it will not be charged.

Common Questions

Loan Fees FAQs

The establishment fee is a one-time charge of 20% of your approved loan amount. It is charged at the commencement of the loan — that is, when funds are disbursed to your account. It covers the administrative cost of processing your application, verifying your information, and setting up your loan. It is never charged a second time at any point during the loan term.
The monthly fee is 4% of the original loan amount and is charged each month for the full duration of your loan term. It is based on the original loan amount rather than the reducing balance. This means the monthly fee figure remains constant each month from the first repayment to the last. For example, a $15,000 loan carries a monthly fee of $600 each month regardless of how much of the principal has been repaid.
Yes. The dishonour fee of $27.50 only applies when a scheduled repayment fails due to insufficient funds. The simplest way to avoid it is to ensure your nominated bank account has adequate funds on or before each repayment date. Since repayments are aligned with your regular payday, this is generally manageable. If you anticipate a shortfall on a specific repayment date, contact Breezy before the due date and we can discuss options.
Yes. All fees — the establishment fee, the monthly fee, and the circumstances under which a dishonour fee applies — are disclosed in full in your loan contract before you sign. Under the National Consumer Credit Protection Act, lenders are required to disclose all fees and charges prior to execution of a credit contract. Breezy complies fully with this obligation. No new fees can be introduced after signing.
No. If you repay your loan early, monthly fees stop accruing from the date of settlement. You pay monthly fees only for the months the loan is actually outstanding. For example, if you have a 24-month loan and repay in full at month 14, you pay 14 months worth of monthly fees, not 24. The same applies to interest. Early repayment stops both charges from that point forward.
The total cost includes the principal repaid, plus the establishment fee (20% of the loan amount), plus interest (charged at the applicable rate for each repayment period on the reducing balance), plus monthly fees (4% of the original loan amount per month for the loan duration). All of these components are combined and shown as a single total payable figure in your loan contract. Use the cost estimator on this page for an indicative figure before you apply, or see the Loan Calculator Guide for more detail.
The establishment fee and monthly fee are both percentage-based, so the absolute dollar amount increases with the loan size. However, larger loans attract a lower interest rate — loans above $15,000 are charged at 29.9% p.a. compared to 39.9% p.a. for smaller loans. This means the interest component is proportionally lower for larger loan amounts, which partially offsets the higher absolute fee amounts. The cost estimator on this page can help you model the total cost across different loan amounts.
