If you’ve got a major expense coming up, such as a new car or a kitchen makeover, it can sometimes be useful to take out a loan. But this does need to be a responsible choice, which is why we always look carefully at your personal situation when you come to us for a loan. Together, we will make sure you can borrow responsibly throughout the entire term.

Listing in the Dutch National Credit Register (BKR)

If you take out a loan of € 250 or more, you’re assigned a positive credit listing. If you make your repayments as required, this listing won’t have any consequences for your credit rating. If you fell behind on your payment obligations at any time during the past five years, you’ll be assigned a negative listing, which makes it more difficult for you to borrow money.

And if you have some money left over at any given time, you can always make early repayments (overpayments) on your loan – without incurring an additional charge. Simply transfer the money via Internet Banking or the ABN AMRO app. Read more about our terms and conditions.
