Personal loans

Meet your cash flow needs or finance your purchases. Apply for a personal loan online or book an appointment at one of our branches.

Why get a personal loan

  • To meet day-to-day needs

    Meet your daily or emergency needs with cash flow from €500-€5000 or take control of your finances by consolidating your debts into 1 loan with 1 instalment.
  • To shop or study

    Meet greater needs, including large purchases such as buying an electric car, or finance your or your children’s studies.

What you need to know about personal loans

Choose a loan according to your needs and profile.

Credit history

We determine the amount you can borrow based on your:

  • Income and asset status
  • Credit history, according to Tiresias SA
 
Tip: You can apply for a larger loan amount if you have a guarantor or co-debtor.

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

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.

 
Tip: The longer the loan term, the lower the monthly instalment.                                                                  

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.
