Typical example

If you were to take out a tuition fee loan of EUR 2,500 for one academic year, when the duration of the credit agreement is 20 years (of which 5 years are a grace period (the 4-year study period plus 12 months after the studies end) and 15 years are the loan repayment term), with an annual interest rate of 2.90%, paying the minimum daily service fee set by the Bank (EUR 1 per month), and making monthly instalments according to the linear method (first monthly instalment of EUR 20.09), the annual percentage rate of charge (APR) would be 3.69%, and the total amount paid by the recipient would be EUR 3 651.38.

The annual percentage rate of charge and the total amount paid by the recipient are calculated on the assumption that the Credit Agreement will be valid for a period equal to the duration of the Credit Agreement, the Bank will pay out the entire amount of Credit to the Credit recipient on the day that the Credit Agreement is signed, the parties to the Credit Agreement will fulfil all of their obligations arising from the Credit Agreement in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth in the Credit Agreement, and the annual interest rate, fees and other expenses will remain the same as at the time of conclusion of the Credit Agreement and will continue to be applicable until the end of the Credit Agreement.

It is not necessary to go to a bank to conclude a loan agreement. Complete and submit the online loan application and, once you have received a positive answer, you can sign the contract online.

Signing period for student loans agreements in the fall semester is 4-31 October 2022. Electronic applications are accepted until 31 October 2022, 3 p.m.

Submit a request to pay the spring semester payment for a tuition fee loan (you’ll find the request form that you need to fill out at the bank branch).
In case the educational institution regulates that the fee for the respective semester must be paid before the end of the semester, you must submit a certificate evidencing the above fact, and we will pay out the loan or its part to perform the payment before the above term.

When you go to the bank to sign a loan agreement or to submit a request for the spring semester payment, be sure to have with you:

your passport or identity card;
a completed application for new loan (the application can also be filled out at the bank);

When submitting the application for the spring semester loan, please submit a certificate from the educational institution evidencing that your studies have not been terminated or that you are not on academic leave. The certificate must be issued not earlier than 7 days before the submission of the application.

The loan is subject to a variable interest rate: Euribor 3 months and a 2.9% mark-up.
The Euribor interest rate is the European interbank offered rate expressed in annual interest. The Euribor reference rate is set, administered and published by the European Money Markets Institute or other officially designated organisation. If the Euribor reference rate is negative, it is deemed zero.
The agreement administration fee is EUR 0.00.
The early repayment fee is EUR 0.00.
You also have to have an account with Swedbank, which is subject to the rates specified in the Bank’s price list of services and operations on the day that the loan agreement is concluded.

*Repayment of the loan begins 12 months after completion or termination of the studies that the loan was received for.

The amount of interest is calculated on the loan amount that was paid out and not repaid. To save you time, we will deduct the required amount of instalments and/or interest from your account on the 30th day of the month (or if the month has fewer days – on the last day of the month) starting at 5:45 pm. Make sure in advance that the amount in your account on that day and time is sufficient to make the payment.

Useful information:

If you temporarily suspend your studies, you will continue to only pay interest.
If you run into financial difficulties and have trouble paying the loan instalments, don’t hesitate to contact the bank.

Lukas completed the studies that he borrowed for.

Once he finished secondary school, Lukas enrolled to study programme systems. He received a state-supported loan to pay tuition for these studies. For the entire period of his studies and a year after his graduation, Lukas only paid interest on the loan. One year after his graduation, he started to repay the loan, which has to be repaid in 15 years.

Rasa changed the study programme that she borrowed for.

Once she finished secondary school, Rasa enrolled to study business management and administration, and she received a state-supported loan to pay tuition for these studies. While studying management, Rasa only paid interest for the loan. After completing the first year, she decided to switch to the economics study programme. The state-supported loan was meant to finance management studies, so Rasa, after changing study programmes, continued to only pay interest on the loan for the next 12 months, after which she had to start repaying the loan (even though she was still studying economics). The loan has to be repaid in 15 years.
