    Paypal will charge monarch, you will not be charged. You don't even need to create an account - you can pay as a guest.

    Monarch currently have no fees for paying using paypal.

    You won't be charged any interest if you pay in full.

    Just select paypal and then press checkout as a guest. Then type in your card details as normal.
