At the grabber we know finance is full of confusing terms and phrases, and so on this page we explain:
Zero % Interest

Zero % Interest

Zero percent interest or a product offering 0% interest is a way to attract new customers to take up lenders products, like cash back offers. It could even be used to encourage existing customers to switch to using the new deals.
Zero percent interest products are suitable for when making a purchase and spreading the cost over several months interest free. It is possible to save many pounds in interest if making the purchase with the zero percent product.
The zero percent rate generally lasts for up to 12 months, but is dependant on individual products, and then the interest rate reverts to the products standard rate.
Any mortgage or loan offer claiming 0% interest should be read very carefully. They will contain clauses like 'only if you stay with us for 3 years' by which time your interest rate would have jumped to 15%. These will also contain very expensive redemption penalties for any attempted shift to a new lender. The Grabber lets the independent financial advisors find the best rate for your requirements. Not offer you the impossible.
