Car loan: your car. Your rules.

New or used — with a car loan, the vehicle is yours from day one. Drive as many kilometers as you want, and insure it the way that works for you.

  • Ownership from day 1 — sell it or keep it, you decide
  • No mileage limit, no return fees
  • Full-coverage insurance optional, not required — saving you money every year

Frequently asked questions

About the car loan.

Does the car loan also apply to used cars and private purchases?
Yes. You receive the amount in your account and buy freely — a new car from a dealer, a used car from a showroom, or directly from a private seller.
Do I need a down payment like with leasing?
No. No down payment is needed for a car loan. You can finance the full purchase price and repay it in equal installments.
Is leasing cheaper than a car loan?
The lease payment is often lower because only the depreciation is financed. Once you factor in the mandatory comprehensive insurance, mileage costs, and the missing residual value, a loan is often cheaper over the holding period — because you're the owner from day one.
Can I sell the financed car during the term?
Yes — the vehicle is yours from the moment of purchase. You can sell it at any time and repay the loan early.
What happens if I can't pay an installment?
Contact the bank early — the sooner you do, the more room there is to maneuver. Unpaid installments can lead to a negative ZEK entry (creditworthiness code 3 or 4), which stays on file for 3 to 5 years after the contract ends and makes future loan applications harder.
