Instalment Loan

How does it work?

1. The term is a minimum of six months. The maximum term is set according to the level of the loan:
• less than 6,200 EUR: 42 months;
• 6,200 to 10,000 EUR: 54 months;
• over 10,000 EUR: 120 months.
2. The minimum amount is 2,500 EUR. There is no maximum.
3. You draw the full amount of the loan in one go.
4. The interest rate (based on the division ‘actual number of days/360’) is fixed throughout the term of the loan; the interest is payable at the same time as the principal.
5. You choose a repayment plan consisting of:
• Equal instalments (principal and interest);
• Equal principal instalments with separate payment of the interest.

Advantages

• Made to measure: the term of the loan is based on the amount of your investment and you choose the repayment conditions from among several possibilities.
• Simplicity: the formalities are straightforward and transparent.

Good to know

• In addition to the cost of the loan, you need to take account of an arrangement fee and default interest in case of default payment.
• When funding fixed assets, the maximum amount financed may not exceed the invoice total, excluding VAT.

A credit subject to the SME financing law:

You can repay all or part of your Instalment Loan early in accordance with the SME Act of 21/12/2013 (modified on 21/12/2017) on the financing of small and medium-sized enterprises. The early repayment penalty varies according to the amount of the original loan:

• loans under 2 million EUR: the early repayment penalty is equal to six months of interest;
• loans over 2 million EUR: the prepayment penalty is based on the transparent framework of the code of conduct, drawn up in accordance with the SME Act.

A credit not subject to the SME financing law:

The voluntary early repayment is forbidden for Instalment Loans.
