Frequently Asked Questions about loans

Why get a loan from ABN AMRO?

You can borrow money from ABN AMRO on favourable terms, with a competitive interest rate and clear agreements. For example, you only pay the monthly instalments of the principal (the amount of the actual loan) and the interest. There are no hidden costs and you know exactly where you stand in advance. 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.

What are my borrowing options?

The personal loan  
With a personal loan, you receive the money in your current account in a lump sum. That comes in handy when you know exactly how much money you need for your purchase. The term of the loan and interest rate are fixed, so you know exactly how much you will be paying each month and when the loan will be repaid in full. And you can make overpayments on your loan at any time, without incurring an additional charge. With a personal loan, you can borrow between €5,000 and €75,000. Read more about our Personal Loan.

How much can I borrow?

What does a loan cost?

When you borrow money, you repay a fixed amount each month. These instalments include a portion of the principal (the amount of the actual loan) and interest, together called repayments. The amount of your repayments depends on the amount you borrow and the term of your loan. How much interest you pay each month depends on your personal situation, for example your income, your family situation and whether you own your home or rent it. If you would like to know exactly how much a loan will cost you each month, you can calculate your loan here.
