Flexible Consumer Credit – loan of up to 8,500 euros without collateral
Flexible Consumer Credit is a consumer credit for a sum of 2,000 to 8,500 euros that is at your disposal at all times. You do not need to tie down your property as collateral and can apply for the credit online at any time.
Why choose flexible credit?
Whether you are renovating, moving house or have some other sudden need for cash, flexible credit can be of help in unexpected situations.
Flexible consumer credit is handy because it is always at your disposal. You do not need to withdraw the entire loan at once; you can withdraw funds whenever you need. In practice, flexible credit means that you can use the same credit over and over without having to reapply for credit.
How does flexible credit work?
Like its name suggests, Flexible Consumer Credit is flexible. After Flexible Consumer Credit has been granted to you, you can take it out in multiple drawdowns. As you repay your debt, you can draw it down repeatedly whenever you need to. In other words, Flexible Consumer Credit works like a credit card but without a payment instrument.
The term of payment is also flexible since you can change the monthly instalment and its due date at any time.
Who can apply for Flexible Consumer Credit?

- You can apply for Flexible Consumer Credit if:

Am I entitled to a grace month on Flexible Consumer Credit?
Yes. You can have one grace month per year on your Flexible Consumer Credit. The grace month is free of charge. The grace month is the same calendar month every year.
Can I repay Flexible Consumer Credit all at once?
Yes you can. Although Flexible Consumer Credit is a revolving credit, you can repay it in larger instalments than agreed or pay off the entire loan at once. After you have paid off all your Flexible Consumer Credit balance, the entire credit facility will be again available to you without a new application.
In other words, paying off your Flexible Consumer Credit does not mean the end of the loan agreement. If you want to terminate your Flexible Consumer Credit, after which it will no longer be available to you, the easiest way to do it is to send us a message through the op.fi service or OP-mobile.

Costs of Flexible Consumer Credit
Flexible Consumer Credit is a revolving credit, and its costs consist of interest and the loan servicing fee, in addition to the loan amount. The loan servicing fee is charged each month, even if the credit was not in active use (drawn down).
You make a monthly repayment of an agreed amount but at least 2,5% of the credit limit and a minimum of 50 euros. You can choose the 1st, 8th, 16th or 24th day of the month as the due date. After you have paid back some of the credit, you can withdraw it again for your use in OP’s digital services.
Costs of Flexible Consumer Credit:
- Credit interest rate, 3-month Euribor + 7.95 % (11,42 % in September 2024)
- A monthly loan servicing fee of 6 euros
Example calculation:
Flexible Consumer Credit is a revolving credit whose effective interest rate for the loan of 2 000 euros is 17,84 % when the loan interest rate is a 3-month Euribor + 7,95 percentage points (11,42 % in September 2024) and the loan servicing fee is 6 euros per month.
The estimated total amount payable would be 2 174,31 euros. This calculation is based on the assumption that the entire loan is withdrawn and that the interest rate and charges and fees remain unchanged throughout the loan term. It is also assumed that the loan is repaid in the monthly minimum repayments of 225 euros, resulting in a loan period of 12 months.
The loan is granted by OP Retail Customers Plc.
With Flexible Consumer Credit, finance is readily available to you just when you need it. Convenient, isn't it?
Fill in the application on OP's digital services, call OP telephone service at 010 253 1333 or visit a member cooperative bank branch.
