How much will my loan cost?
Taking a loan is a big commitment to meet a specific need. It's important to explore different options, compare them, and choose the loan that best suits your needs and budget.
To choose the most affordable loan, consider all expected costs in advance.
We grouped costs into several typical expenses for your reference:
Interest: The amount charged on the loan, paid by the borrower to the lender over the loan term. Interest is usually expressed as a nominal interest rate in the loan agreement.
Account service fee: A fee for maintaining the current account that is typically opened when a loan is granted. This fee is usually fixed.
Fees related to the loan: These may include fees for loan approval, disbursement, withdrawal, and account service.
Loan security costs: Costs associated with registering and canceling loan collateral, such as real estate mortgages and pledges of movable property.
Insurance costs: You may need to insure the borrower's health and/or the collateral, which incurs an additional cost.
