For loans in the amount of up to 25,000.00 EUR, the maximum loan repayment period is 25 years.

The data in the calculations can be used exclusively for informational purposes and do not bind RBA to provide the banking service. The total amount to be paid and the EIR for the GREENKO housing loan include the average cost for property insurance of 40.00 EUR and the monthly account management fee of 2.00 EUR for clients who direct their regular monthly income to their RBA account, based on which they are eligible for the primary client bonus. The informational calculation is based on the assumption that the loan will be disbursed on the date the calculation is made and that interim interest will be paid until the last day of that month.  Interim interest is calculated at the regular interest rate and is charged on a one-time basis upon loan disbursement, deducted from the disbursement amount.
