The Bank shall calculate and charge interest for the amount of the housing loan granted at the interest rate which is:

• for the period of first 3 months, i.e. until the date of the first adjustment of the interest rate (on 30th June or 31st December), fixed and amounts to 5.80% annually for the loans insured with the NKOSK (National Housing Loans Insurance Corporation), i.e. 6% annually for the loans not insured with the NKOSK;
• after that period, variable and set as a sum of the value of the 6M BELIBOR applicable on 31st May and 30th November and the fixed margin.

In accordance with the decision of the NBS, until 31st December 2024, the Bank will grant housing loans in the period of implementation of the measures at the interest rate which is:

• for the period until 31 December 2024, fixed and amounts to 5.00% annually for the loans insured with the NKOSK, i.e. 5.00% annually for the loans not insured with the NKOSK;
• after 31 December 2024, variable and set as a sum of the 6M BELIBOR applicable on 31st May and 30th November and the fixed margin in the amount of 4.60% annually for the loans insured with the NKOSK, i.e. 5.80% annually for the loans not insured with NKOSK.

The change in interest rate as described in paragraph 1, indent 2 of this item shall be carried out two times a year by calculating newly set interest rate on the debt balance of the unmatured principal as at 30th June and 31st December each year. The interest shall be calculated by applying the pro-rata method.

On all matured but not duly settled liabilities on the loan the Bank shall calculate default interest in the amount of the interest rate set by the Law on Default Interest, i.e. agreed (regular) interest rate if it is higher. The default interest shall be calculated by applying the pro-rata method.

For the period starting from the day when the loan was disbursed until the date it was transferred for repayment (last day of calendar month) the Bank shall calculate an intercalary interest at the interest rate that is equal to the agreed regular interest rate. The intercalary interest shall be charged at the moment when the loan was transferred for repayment.
