The new interest rate tariff enters into effect on Wednesday, 5 April 2023; changes to fixed lending rates enter into effect as of Saturday, 1 April 2023. Changes to interest on loans governed by the Act on Consumer Loans or the Act on Mortgage Lending to Consumers enter into effect in accordance with notifications sent to customers in online banking.
How will this affect my loan?
If a loan (consumer loan or real estate loan to consumers) carries a variable interest rate, the change enters into effect 30 days after the interest rate notification. Changes to interest on overdrafts take effect at the same time as the new interest rate tariff. Interest on loans that carry a fixed rate do not change during the fixed rate period.
