Cost of a loan
Like any other loan, the express loan is a paying service, with variable and fixed costs, depending on the plan that is chosen and the amount that is borrowed.
For a loan repaid within 3 months
In this case, the express loan is not a consumer loan, but a payment solution.
Customers pay costs linked to the amount of the loan. Should customers want to receive the money immediately, no fixed costs will apply in addition to the costs below.
Amount borrowed | Negligible costs | Borrowing rate | APR |
€100 - €1,500 | 3.24% | 20.02% | 21.96% |
For a loan repaid over 6 months or more
The loan is a revolving credit.
Repay period | APR excluding optional insurance |
6 months | 16.90% |
12 months | 16.90% |
24 months | 16.90% |
36 months | 16.90% |

For loans repaid over 6, 12, 24 or 36 months, these monthly instalments are debited on the 5th of each month, at least 30 days after the date the funds were loaned. This type of loan is a revolving credit and can be repaid early by contacting their loan provider, our partner FLOA Bank.
