Borrowing money in the Netherlands from 7.9%
Looking to buy a new car? Or perhaps you want to renovate your home? A loan might just make things easier. You arrange it all online, from calculating your loan to getting the money, and all in English. And if you have any questions, the staff at our International Client Desk will be happy to help.
Choose the loan that is right for you
When can you get a loan in the Netherlands?
You can apply for a loan if you:
- are aged 21 to 69;
- have sufficient income each month;
- live in the Netherlands.
If you are in the Netherlands on a temporary residence permit and qualify for taking out a loan, we will align the loan term with the term of your residence permit.
Personal Loan
- The money in your account in one go.
- You select the loan term. The term depends on what the loan is for.
- Fixed monthly payment. The payment is made up of interest and repayment towards the loan principal.
- A loan must always be paid back. With interest. Buying something with a loan will, therefore, cost you extra.
- A loan is a long-term commitment. Your financial situation may change over that period.
“It’s good to know that in the Netherlands consumers are protected against taking out loans they cannot afford to repay. That’s why we carry out a credit check as standard when you apply for a loan.”

What are my borrowing options?
The personal loan
With a personal loan, you receive the money in your current account in a lump sum. That comes in handy when you know exactly how much money you need for your purchase. The term of the loan and interest rate are fixed, so you know exactly how much you will be paying each month and when the loan will be repaid in full. And you can make overpayments on your loan at any time, without incurring an additional charge. With a personal loan, you can borrow between €5,000 and €75,000. Read more about our Personal Loan.

How much can I borrow?
How much you can borrow depends on your situation, like what you earn and whether you own your home or rent it. A loan needs to fit within your budget, so it’s a good idea to first calculate how much you can borrow and what your monthly repayments will be. Calculate your loan.

What does a loan cost?
When you borrow money, you repay a fixed amount each month. These instalments include a portion of the principal (the amount of the actual loan) and interest, together called repayments. The amount of your repayments depends on the amount you borrow and the term of your loan. How much interest you pay each month depends on your personal situation, for example your income, your family situation and whether you own your home or rent it. If you would like to know exactly how much a loan will cost you each month, you can calculate your loan here.
Can you deduct personal loan interest from your taxable income?
If you use your loan to improve the quality of your home, you can usually deduct the interest from your taxable income in Box 1. As a result, you pay a lower amount of tax. Get in touch with your financial adviser or the Dutch Tax and Customs Administration to find out more, or go to their website to read more about tax relief (in Dutch).
