The maximum loan depends on several factors. The loan offer you receive from us is based on your circumstances and how you manage to cover your expenses with your income. We always want to make sure that the size of a loan is suitable for your situation and that you won’t have any problems in repaying it.
Can I pay off Special Consumer Credit with a shorter payment plan?
Yes. Special Consumer Credit is flexible. You can repay a larger amount than the agreed monthly repayment at any time or pay off the loan in full.
When applying for the loan, you agree on the size and schedule of repayments for paying back your loan. However, you can then later change the amount of each repayment and the due date and set a grace month.
Can I get a grace month on Special Consumer Credit repayments?
Yes. You are annually entitled to one grace month on your Special Consumer Credit. During the grace month, you don’t need to repay your credit and related interest. The grace month is the same calendar month every year.
The change takes effect in the next month's billing. The already-created bill may not be changed.
Costs of Special Consumer Credit
The costs of Special Consumer Credit consist of interest and the loan servicing fee, as well as the loan amount.
The size of monthly repayments depends on the loan amount and the loan term. You can choose the 1st, 8th, 16th or 24th day of the month as the due date. The loan terminates when the last instalment has been paid.
Costs of Special Consumer Credit:
- Credit interest rate, 3-month Euribor + 7.95% (9,68 % in November 2022)
- Loan servicing fee 6 euros per month.
Example calculation:
Special Consumer Credit is a one-off loan: the effective annual interest rate for a 10,000 euro loan with a 5-year payback period would be 11.02 % if the credit interest rate were the 3-month Euribor + 7.95% percentage points (9.68 % in November 2022) and the loan servicing fee 6 euros per month.
The estimated total amount payable would be 12,937.70 euros. This calculation is based on the assumption that the loan is drawn down in a lump sum and the loan interest and charges and fees remain unchanged throughout the loan term. It also assumes that the loan is repaid in monthly instalments of 220.00 euros up to and including the final instalment.
