> For each amortisation, a present value is calculated of every cash
flow event, using the market rates at the date of repayment to
derive discount factors, and these calculations are added to give a
total present value.
> The total present value of the second amortisation calculation,
along with the early repayment amount, is subtracted from the total
present value of the first amortisation calculation.
> The early repayment cost is the amount by which the total present
value of the first amortisation calculation exceeds the total present
value of the second amortisation calculation.
> This is the amount you will be required to pay ANZ as the early
repayment fee.
While the early repayment fee is not calculated using the formula
provided in the Credit Contracts and Consumer Finance Act 2003, the
early repayment recovery is intended to compensate the Bank only for
its cost and risk in providing a Fixed Rate Loan which is repaid early.
2.6 Definitions
> Amortisation means loan repayment by instalments to pay off the
debt (principal and accrued interest) by the end of a fixed period.
> Cash flow events are all transactions that will alter the loan balance,
such as expected repayments, fees, charges and interest (if
capitalised to the loan).
> Cash flow dates are the dates on which cash flow events occur.
> Discount factors are used to give present value. The interest rate
used in discount factors is the relevant market fixed interest rate
which would apply to the loan if the loan were advanced on the
early repayment date for a term equal or closest to the remaining
Fixed Rate Period of the loan.
> Market rate at the start of the Fixed Rate Period means the
wholesale interest swap rate, as quoted by ANZ, on the date of
the start of your current Fixed Rate Period for a term equal to your
Fixed Rate Period. The applicable wholesale interest swap rate
is available from ANZ or, alternatively, a close approximation is
currently published daily in The New Zealand Herald and other
newspapers.
> Market rate at the date of repayment means the wholesale interest
rate swap, as quoted by ANZ, on the date of your early repayment,
for a term up to the unexpired part of your Fixed Rate Period (as
at the date of your early repayment) but note that for terms of less
than 12 months, the relevant bank bill yield will be used instead of
the wholesale interest swap rate; and where no wholesale interest
swap rate is quoted or available for the relevant term, the rate will
be a weighted average of the closest longer and shorter quoted
terms either side of the relevant term.
