When comparing lending offers from different organizations, keep in mind that a lower interest rate does not guarantee a cheaper loan. In addition, the price of a loan includes various fees that can significantly increase the price.

There are single, monthly and annual fees, which are calculated based on the total amount of the loan or its balance on a given date.

Below is a list of possible commissions that will make your analysis easier and a small example for comparison.

To obtain a loan, you may need a sum of money to record the guarantee, its valuation and insurance (in the case of mortgage loans). Minimum amount for movable property – 300 lei, real estate – 2,000 lei.

Make sure you know the final price of the loan, the amount to be repaid monthly and the date of its payment. Read the contract very carefully, all its points are important, especially those written in small font. You have the right to request and obtain information and a model of the contract, before signing it to make the necessary analysis and calculations.

 

Choose your financial partner in an informed and responsible way.
