Personal loan
A personal loan is a popular form of borrowing money. This is because at this time the fixed interest rate of the personal loan is lower than the interest rate of the revolving credit. You can already take out a personal loan from 4.1%.
What is a personal loan?
A personal loan is a very popular form of loan, which has a number of fixed characteristics. The most important characteristics of a personal loan are:
- Fixed duration
- Fixed monthly charges
- Fixed interest
- Extra repayment without penalty
Fixed duration
With a personal loan, you borrow a predetermined amount. The term of the loan is therefore already fixed and you know exactly when you have repaid your debt.
If you have taken out a personal loan, you will receive the total credit in your account. You then pay a fixed amount in installments and interest each month. You do this during a previously agreed term. This duration is usually between six and 180 months.
Fixed monthly charges
The monthly installments have been set, this consists of interest and repayment. You pay the same amount every month. If you pay more in on your loan, you shorten the term of the loan.
Fixed interest
A personal loan has a fixed interest rate. This interest is currently lower than that of a revolving credit, but remains fixed. The interest can therefore not fall further.
When you take out a personal loan, you know exactly where you stand. The costs are all determined in advance. You can already take out a personal loan for an amount of € 5,000.
Does a personal loan suit me?
A personal loan fits you well if you:
- Want certainty, with end date repayment
- Know exactly what the costs will be of your goal
- Want clarity about the costs of financing
It is often recommended to take out a personal loan for expenses such as:
- The purchase of a new car, camper / caravan, boat
- Repaying other outstanding loans
- If you are a homeowner and want to renovate, finance a kitchen, a bathroom, etc. You benefit from a tax benefit, so the monthly installment is gross.
- Residual debt financing, up to 180 months to close
