Debt consolidation A step-by-step guide

Debt consolidation A step-by-step guide

What is debt consolidation? The combining of all existing debt into a single, new loan that is more manageable and affordable. The new loan will typically have lower monthly repayments than those on existing debt. There are 3 important factors to successfully consolidate your employees debt: 1. Ability to spread repayments over a longer term 2. Saving on interest costs over the lifetime of their loan ( lifetime savings ) 3. Consolidating all debts to avoid a debt extension/spiral An effective pay rise is achieved when less of an employee s monthly salary is needed to service their debt. Over the next few slides we ll walk through how we achieve this at Neyber. The average UK household currently has more than 11,800 in unsecured debt (TUC analysis 2015). Almost two thirds of employees say they have borrowed in the last year to meet their basic financial needs (The DNA of Financial Wellbeing, Neyber). Financial stress is further driven by the excessive fees charged by lenders, particularly the payday lending market where in many cases the APR can reach over 1,000%.

True debt consolidation Lower monthly repayments borrow for up to 5 years at a low rate Neyber offers borrowers flexible loan terms of up to 5 years giving employees the ability to spread loan repayments over a longer period. In the example, consolidating existing debt with a Neyber loan over 5 years allows your employees to reduce their monthly repayments by 109 This equates to an effective pay rise of over 5%. Over 90% of our customers borrow for more than 2 years. Trying to consolidate debt over 2 years or less is typically unsuitable for employees and would actually lead to an increase in monthly repayments by 145 (+47%).

By making our rates more accessible we are allowing them to consolidate their debts into one single monthly payment and save on interest costs. In the example, Neyber provides a saving of up to 87% in total interest paid over the term of the loan. This lets your employees be free of their debt within a significantly shorter time period whilst managing more affordable monthly repayments.

True debt consolidation Consolidate all your existing debt At Neyber, we aim to solve all your employees debt problems, and that s why we lend up to 25,000. This allows your employees to consolidate all their outstanding debt so that they can be debt free at the end of their loan term. Our average loan size is 10,000. In the example, an employee borrowing this amount to consolidate their debt would benefit from a reduction in monthly repayments of 36%. In contrast, if we were only able to lend up to 5,000 (approx. 20% of UK average salary) the total rate would only reduce to 23.7%APR and monthly repayments would still increase. This results in an increase in monthly debt repayments by 25%, making employees worse off. In summary, partial consolidation leaves employees vulnerable to the negative effects of debt extension as opposed to the benefits of debt consolidation.

How does this lead to an effective pay rise An effective pay rise is achieved when an employee reduces their monthly repayments by spreading repayments over a manageable period at a low rate. Reducing monthly repayments Consolidating with a Neyber loan means less of an employees monthly salary is needed to service their debt, and it is this which equates to a pay rise. The pay rise is calculated by dividing the annual amount saved in repayments by the net annual salary. Reducing the total interest paid on debt also provides a reduction in the overall cost of debt. Lifetime savings Employees can save money over the lifetime of their loan by reducing the interest paid. They do this by repaying at a lower rate over a shorter period of time, which also reduces their monthly repayments. Total savings are calculated by subtracting the overall cost of the current debt by the overall cost of the Neyber loan. This presentation is commercially sensitive

Employee benefits Reducing financial stress creating a happy workforce Every year businesses across the UK are impacted by employee financial stress. Employees suffering from financial stress tend to have more days off sick and are likely to be less productive when at work*. Neyber can save the average employee in excess of 11,000 over the lifetime of their outstanding debt, thus reducing financial stress and boosting productivity. For example, a company with 1,000 employees, consolidating debts with Neyber provides lifetime savings of 2.3M across the workforce.

Creating a workforce that is happier, more knowledgeable and more productive without having to worry about making it to the end of the month.
