What is the difference between Flat Rate and Reducing Rate?

Asked by Banky team 2 months ago
Banky team Reviewed editorial answer

These are two different ways of displaying/calculating interest costs, and the two rates are not directly comparable.

Key points

  • Compare the total installments and the cost.

  • The lower nominal rate is not always the cheapest.

The figures, fees and limits in this answer vary by bank and change over time — confirm them with your bank or the official source before acting.
