Wat is een persoonlijke lening precies?

Een vast bedrag dat in een keer wordt uitbetaald en dat u in vaste termijnen terugbetaalt, tegen een rente die de hele looptijd gelijk blijft. U weet daardoor vooraf wat het geheel kost en wanneer de schuld nul is. Opgenomen bedragen kunt u, anders dan bij een doorlopend krediet, niet opnieuw opnemen.

Bemiddelt Finass Verzekert in persoonlijke leningen?

Nee. Onze AFM-vergunning ziet uitsluitend op schadeverzekeringen. Consumptief krediet valt onder een andere vergunningcategorie, met eigen eisen aan vakbekwaamheid en informatieverstrekking. Wij verwijzen u door naar aanbieders die daarvoor staan ingeschreven; zij beoordelen uw aanvraag zelfstandig en zijn daar ook zelf verantwoordelijk voor.

Kan ik een persoonlijke lening eerder aflossen?

Ja, vervroegd aflossen is bij consumptief krediet altijd toegestaan. Omdat de rente vast is, mag de aanbieder een wettelijk begrensde vergoeding rekenen voor het renteverlies. Hoe korter de resterende looptijd, hoe lager die vergoeding uitvalt. Vraag vooraf om een concrete berekening voordat u het besluit neemt.

Moet ik een verzekering bij de lening afsluiten?

Dat is geen verplichting van ons. Kredietaanbieders bieden soms een betalingsbeschermer aan die uitkeert bij arbeidsongeschiktheid, werkloosheid of overlijden. Laat u daarover door hen informeren en let op wachttijden, de uitkeringsduur en uitsluitingen. Vergelijk de kosten met dekking die u misschien al heeft via werk of een bestaande polis.

Personal loan: we refer you on

With a personal loan everything is fixed: the amount, the interest rate, the instalment and the date on which the debt reaches zero. That makes it predictable, not automatically cheap.

In brief

Please note: borrowing money costs money. A personal loan is a fixed amount paid out in one go which you repay in equal instalments at an interest rate that stays unchanged for the whole term. What you have repaid cannot be drawn again. From the first instalment you know what the whole thing will cost and when you will be finished.

The question that saves the most money here is not the interest rate but the term. A longer term reduces your monthly payment and increases the total cost of credit, sometimes considerably. The benchmark is the useful life of what you buy with it: with a car, a refurbishment or a course of study you do not want to still be paying for something that no longer exists.

Finass Verzekert advises on and arranges non-life insurance under AFM licence 12016589 and holds no credit licence. We do not draw up loans, do not assess applications and do not advise on the interest rate or the term. We refer you to a provider with the appropriate registration. It consults the BKR and assesses independently whether the payments are affordable.

Where things go wrong in practice

Four points that determine whether a fixed loan works out well.

Do not borrow for longer than the purpose lasts

If the loan runs longer than what you buy with it, you are paying instalments for a car that has already been traded in or a kitchen that has since been replaced. So first establish the expected useful life of the purchase and choose a term within it. A shorter term means a higher monthly payment and almost always a lower total cost of credit. Ask for two quotations with different terms and set the total costs side by side.

A fixed rate says nothing about how high it is

Certainty about the rate only means that the percentage does not change, not that it is favourable. Two offers with the same instalment can differ widely in what you have paid at the end, purely through differences in term and rate. So set the annual percentage rate side by side and ask for the pre-contractual information, which also states the total cost of credit and the repayment schedule.

Early repayment is always allowed, but not always free

With consumer credit you have the right to make extra repayments or repay in full. Because the interest rate is fixed here, the provider may charge a fee for the interest lost. That fee is capped by law and becomes smaller as the remaining term shortens. Before you sign, ask for a concrete worked example and have it recorded how the provider determines that fee; negotiating afterwards will not work.

A rejection is information, not an obstacle

If your application is refused, the assessment shows that the payments do not fit your income and fixed outgoings, or that there are arrears registered with the BKR. Ask the provider for the reason. Carrying on searching until a provider says yes is usually the most expensive route and often leads to unlicensed providers. There you miss out on the statutory credit information, the right of withdrawal and access to Kifid.

Early repayment is allowed, but not always free

With consumer credit you may always make extra repayments or repay in full. The provider may charge a fee for it where the interest rate is fixed. That fee is capped by law and disappears as the remaining term shortens. Ask about the in advance and have the answer included in the agreement.

An assessment is part of it

Licence holders consult the BKR for credit from € 250 with a term longer than one month and assess whether the payments fit your income and fixed outgoings. A refusal is information about what you can afford. Providers advertising loans without a check generally do not hold that licence.

What to look out for when comparing

Annual percentage rate. It combines interest and charges in one figure per year. The only fair point of comparison.
Total cost of credit. What you repay over the whole term above what you borrowed, in euros.
Term against the purpose. The loan should not run longer than the purchase or refurbishment can reasonably be expected to last.
Early repayment charge. With a fixed rate the provider may charge for interest lost; ask about it in advance.
Instalment against what you can afford. The provider assesses your income and fixed outgoings; allow for setbacks in your own sums too.
The provider's licence. Check the name and number in the AFM's public register before you sign anything.

Frequently asked questions

This is what people ask us most.

What exactly is fixed with a personal loan?

The amount borrowed, the interest rate, the term and the instalment. That also fixes the end date and the total price from day one. What you repay cannot be drawn again. That is the main difference from revolving credit. If you want to borrow more later, that is a new application with a new assessment.

Can I repay early and what does that cost?

Repayment is always allowed. Because the interest rate is fixed, the provider may charge a statutorily capped fee for the interest lost. The shorter the remaining term, the lower it is. On a loan that is nearly finished it is often negligible. Ask for a specific calculation before you decide, and compare it with the interest you would still pay.

Do I have to take out payment protection?

No, that is not a requirement on our part. Credit providers sometimes offer such insurance for incapacity for work, unemployment or death. Assess it on the waiting period, the payment period in months and the exclusions, including temporary contracts and existing conditions. First check whether you already have comparable cover through your employer or an existing policy.

What if my application is refused?

Ask the provider for the reason. Often the payments do not fit your income and fixed outgoings, or there are arrears registered with the BKR. More sensible than searching on is to reduce the amount, adjust the term or postpone the purchase. Providers advertising loans without an assessment generally hold no licence.
