Informative List on Offered Consumer Loans

The Informative List on Offered Consumer Loans is made on the basis if data that the credit institutions submit to the CBCG. The List presents the information on the lowest and highest interest rates on a selected type of loan, the interest rate type (fixed, variable or combined), maximum loan repayment period, additional conditions for granting a loan, as well as the fee for processing loan application. The range of interest rates presented in the Informative List depends on the selected additional conditions and the creditworthiness of the loan applicant, i.e. the assessment of their ability to repay the loan regularly. Deviations from the information shown in the Informative List are possible only in the column related to additional conditions, and only for the benefit of the consumer.

Offer of reduced interest rates from credit institutions


Maximum amount – implies the maximum loan amount that is offered for each of the mentioned types of consumer loans.
Maximum repayment period – implies the maximum repayment period that is offered for each of the mentioned types of consumer loans.
Fixed interest rate – implies an interest rate defined by the contract, which is unchanged for the duration of the loan agreement.
Variable interest rate – implies an interest rate consisting of a fixed and a variable component of the interest rate. The variable component is the reference interest rate which is determined on the interbank market (e.g. EURIBOR) on which the credit institution cannot influence. In the event of a change in the reference interest rate, in the case of loans with a variable interest rate, there is the possibility of changing the amount of the loan annuity to a higher or lower level.
Combined interest rate – implies a combination of fixed and variable interest rates, i.e., with this loan repayment model, the period during which the fixed interest rate will be applied, as well as the period during which the variable interest rate will be applied, is defined in advance.
NIR – nominal interest rate is the agreed interest rate that is calculated on the amount of the approved loan and that is applied when creating a loan repayment plan that defines the amounts of installments that the consumer pays.
EIR – the effective interest rate is the nominal interest rate increased by fees and other costs, such as insurance policy, notary costs, real estate appraisal costs for mortgage loans, credit register costs, promissory notes, etc. EIR shows the total costs of loans for the consumer.
