Why get a personal loan

What you need to know about personal loans
Credit history
We determine the amount you can borrow based on your:
- Income and asset status
- Credit history, according to Tiresias SA
Depending on the loan amount
With some personal loans, you can apply for a larger amount if you provide some collateral, such as a mortgage lien on property or cash collateral.
Online through e-Banking
From your mobile through myAlpha Mobile or your computer through myAlpha Web, you can apply for:
- Loan up to €3,000 – myAlpha Quick Loan personal loan
- Loan up to €15,000 without collateral – Alpha Metron Ariston personal loan
- Student loan

- Green loan for the home

Based on your age
You must be up to 75 at loan maturity.
Based on your finances
The loan payment should not affect your day-to-day life. Take into account all your regular needs and obligations to determine the amount you can pay each month for your loan.
Make your financial planning even easier with the personal loan calculators.
Fixed or floating interest rate
With floating interest rate, the instalment amount will follow the market interest rate. Meaning, it may decrease or increase.
With fixed interest rate, the instalment amount remains the same for a specified period, irrespective of the market trends.
Lump-sum fees
There is a loan processing fee.
The cost changes depending on the loan, the collateral and the amount.
Loans with collateral
If you take out a loan with collateral, there are additional expenses. For example, the fees for mortgage lien registration, due diligence, cash collateral, etc.
Find the right loan for you
Before you apply for a loan, you need to consider:
- What need am I trying to meet – Is it an emergency or one-off need, or something that comes up regularly? Maybe you need a credit card instead of a loan?
- What amount do I need – Do you already have part of, or will you borrow the entire amount?
- How am I going to repay it – Will the loan payments come from your salary or another source, such as rental income, or do you plan on selling an asset? In this case, choose a loan you can repay early at no extra charge.
- How much time do I need to repay the loan – Considering the amount you can pay monthly, how much time will you need in total?
Personal loan or credit card?
Both are ways you can borrow money. They differ in the way they work and that’s why they meet different needs.
How a personal loan works
You borrow the entire amount from the start and pay it off in monthly instalments with a specific term.
It allows you to:
- Make one-off purchases or expenses.
- Know from the start exactly what you are going to pay and when.
- Secure a longer repayment term.
It is not helpful if you:
- Need the amount in instalments, as you pay the interest for the entire amount from the start.
- Have recurring needs.
How a credit card works
You borrow only the amount you need every time and, if you pay it off, you can borrow again. In other words, you get a credit limit.
It allows you to:
- Simplify your daily transactions, especially the smaller ones.
- Shop in interest-free instalments.
- Pay off sooner when you can. If you pay off the entire balance every month, you pay no interest.
- Secure benefits from loyalty programmes.
It is not helpful if you:
- Plan to pay only the minimum payment every month, as the interest rate is higher.
- Have difficulty with financial planning and monitoring your expenses.
