How it works
A lower rate for going green
You will be asked to include evidence of your purchase, which should be at least 50% green, by providing a quote or invoice within your application.
Our interest rates at 6.25% and 6.40% APR (Annual Percentage Rate) are some of the most competitive and consistent on the market. These rates are variable. If your rate changes, your repayment amounts stay the same. So, if the rate rises during the loan term, you will have to make extra payments at the end of the term, and if the rate falls, you might pay off your loan sooner.
The green personal loan is not available to top up existing loans, car hire purchases or finance agreements
A representative example for you:
A typical €10,000 five-year green personal loan with a variable interest rate of 6.25% and 6.40% APR (Annual Percentage Rate), where the interest rate and APR does not vary during the term, has 60 monthly instalments of €194.41 and the total cost of credit (the total amount repayable less the amount of the loan) is €1,664.60.
