As is the case with most Financial Services these days, our application process is all online.  You  can now only apply for a EasyPay Midlands loan by completing the simple online application form HERE.

Please note, if you are unhappy about agreeing to a credit check, we may not be able to proceed with your application.  All new customers to Firth Finance must have a Credit Check which must be re-assessed every third loan, or every 365 days whichever comes first.

Once we receive your fully completed application we will verify your details and provide you with a “decision in principal” within 24 hours.  During Easter, July and Christmas this can take up to 48hrs.  

Firth Finance implements a 7 day “Cool-Off” period.  This means that if your application is successful, the earliest you will receive your loan will be 7 days after you submitted a completed application.  This gives you time to change your mind and consider if borrowing is right for you.

You can choose to receive your funds in cash, but most of our customers prefer a direct payment directly into their nominated bank account.

Your first installment will be due the week after you receive your loan.  Existing customers can then request to move to fortnightly installments after the initial payment.  New customers will be required to pay their first loan on a weekly basis.

It’s important that your loan is both manageable and affordable for your individual circumstances to avoid running into financial difficulties.

As a responsible lender, we always work to protect our customers. Therefore, all loan applications are subject to an affordability assessment before a decision can be made.

You will need to provide supporting documents. The documents we can accept as proof will be discussed with you.

We’ll also need to review your outgoings and how much you spend on bills and other regular payments (your committed expenditure).   

Our affordability assessment only concerns your finances, so we will only need to know information regarding your own income and outgoings.

All EasyPay Midlands loans have no hidden fees or late payment charges, so you’ll know exactly what you’re paying back when you take out your loan.

You will even receive a rebate if your loan is paid back early!

•  No upfront costs 

•  No hidden fees 

•  No late payment charges 

•  Fixed interest rate that will not change 

•  No early settlement fees – in fact you may get a rebate!

Yes. Once your loan is approved you will be assigned a EasyPay Midlands Representative who will be on-hand for any queries you have. For security reasons, your loan is usually paid directly into your bank account. Representative can arrange to visit your home to facilitate your loan and repayments in cash, however if you have received your loan into your account and pay your instalments using the debit card attached to it then in the unlikely event that there are queries on your loan account then a simple statement can help come to a conclusion quickly and easily. 

APR, or Annual Percentage Rate, refers to the total cost of your borrowing for one year. It takes into account the interest rate and additional charges of a loan offer. All lenders must tell you what their APR is before you sign a credit agreement.

It’s important to remember when comparing representative APR that what you actually pay in interest depends on what you borrow, and how and when you pay your debt off.

As a general rule for a loan, the more you borrow, the lower the APR is likely to be.

You will only ever pay back your loan amount plus the interest charges. This is referred to as the “Total amount payable” and varies from loan to loan.

One of our EasyPay Midlands Represenatives is always on-hand to help explain the cost of borrowing on our loans, including the APR and total amount payable.

Your first repayment is usually due 7 days after you have received your loan. Your repayments will then continue weekly for new customers with the option of fortnightly for existing customers.  Unfortunately we can no longer facilitate monthly payments.

Most of our customers pay us by Recurring Transaction – this is when you authorise us (and your card provider) to take regular payments from your card.  This is by far the easiest method, it takes 2 minutes to setup and we do the rest.  No more ATM visits to get cash and waiting in for your Agent to call, no more forgetting to call the office with your card number.  We have fould that the customers that either have no arrears or the lowest arrears pay by this method. 

You can choose to pay your loan installments via card by calling our payment line 028 9744 0790.  Just use your Agreement number so we know who the payment is from and you will see this in your Online Portal payments screen almost immediately. 

We can remind you every week – just tell us to setup a Pay-By-Link payment type and we will text you a reminder every time your payment is due.  The text will have a link that will take you to a payment screen, it’s as simple as putting in your card information and authorising the payment.

And as always, via our friendly home collection team, who will work with you to provide a personal and convenient service at your doorstep.

It is not possible to use a credit card to make a repayment.

We no longer accept personal cheques.

At EasyPay we have no hidden fees or late payment charges, however, if you frequently miss payments, our Credit Manager will contact you to review your account and will endeavour work out a solution with you.

We always recommend that customers voluntarily increase their repayment amounts if they can in order to settle their debt as quickly as is affordable.
