Loan repayment holiday and other changes to your loan

If the repayment scheme you have agreed with your bank does not fit your present life situation for some reason, your loan repayment terms can be changed. You can change your repayment scheme easily online.

Typical situations in which you may wish to change your loan repayment scheme include a new job, a change in salary, or going on a study or parental leave. You can, for example, apply for a repayment holiday for your home loan or change the due date of future repayment instalments.

Changes to loan repayment (repayment instalment and date)

Do you want to make changes to your future loan repayments? You can change the loan repayment instalment, i.e. the repayment amount, and the repayment date.

The loan calculator is handy for determining the instalment amount that suits you. A suitable amount is usually 25–30% of your monthly net income because, in addition to the loan repayment, you should also have enough money for your daily life and savings. The recommended loan term is a maximum of 20–25 years for home loans and 5 years for consumer loans.

An extra loan repayment does not change your loan repayment scheme but repays the loan in addition to the normal monthly repayment. An extra loan repayment is not subject to a charge, except in the case of a fixed-rate loan for which the bank may charge a fee as stated in the loan terms and conditions. For more information on charges, please contact your own OP cooperative bank.

You make the extra loan repayment yourself at op.fi or on OP-mobile. At op.fi, do the following:

  • Log in with your user identifiers, go to the "Loans" section and check the number of the loan to which you wish to make a payment.
  • Go to "New payment" under the Daily banking services section and enter your loan's number in the "Payee's account or IBAN" field. Then proceed as instructed.
  • The amount of your extra repayment is debited to your account on the same day.

To change the debit account of your loan, send us a message on OP-mobile or the op.fi service (login in Finnish or Swedish). In your message, state

  1. your loan’s number
  2. that you want to change the debit account for the loan
  3. the number of the new debit account.

Check any charges from the list of charges and fees. To see your current debit account, go to OP-mobile, select your loan and go to Information. The loan debit account must be an OP current account where you are the account holder. If the loan has several borrowers and if we need their consent to the change, we will contact them.
If you don’t have an OP user ID, you can request the debit account change from a bank branch by booking an appointment.
