A fixed loan can be useful when you know exactly how much you need and want a fixed repayment schedule.
A credit line can be useful when your needs may change, when costs come in stages, or when you want access to flexible credit without applying again every time.
| Fixed loan | Monefit credit line |
|---|---|
| One fixed loan amount | Flexible credit limit |
| Usually for one specific purpose | Can be used for different personal needs |
| New application may be needed later | Available credit can be reused |
| Fixed repayment schedule | Flexible repayment options |
| Full amount is paid out upfront | You choose how much of your credit to use |
The total cost of credit depends on:
Always review the terms, repayment schedule, and representative example before using credit.
Representative example:
A €1,000 credit line, with a total amount payable by the consumer and total repayments of €1,209.87, a fixed annual interest rate of 36.72%, and an annual percentage rate of charge (APRC) of 44.30%. The APRC has been calculated on the assumption that the credit line is used in full and repaid in 12 equal monthly instalments at equal intervals, starting from the month following the drawdown of the credit line.
Borrowing is a financial commitment. Before applying for credit, consider whether the expense is necessary, whether the repayments fit your monthly budget, and whether there are cheaper alternatives.
Before using a loan or credit line, ask yourself:
Monefit assesses every application individually and follows responsible lending principles. Credit is only granted after a creditworthiness assessment.
A small loan is often used for personal expenses that are larger than everyday spending but smaller than long-term financing needs.

A consumer loan is commonly used for private expenses such as repairs, household costs, larger purchases, or other personal needs.

An online loan allows you to apply digitally without visiting a physical branch.

An unsecured loan does not require collateral such as property, a car, or another asset.

Unexpected expenses can create pressure on your monthly budget. This may include urgent household costs, repairs, or bills that were not planned in advance.

Car repairs can be difficult to postpone, especially if you rely on your car for work, family, or everyday transport.

Home repairs and renovation costs can vary depending on the work required.

A traditional car loan is often used to finance the purchase of a vehicle. Monefit is different. It is a flexible credit line that may be used for car-related expenses, but it is not a secured vehicle finance product.

Some people use credit to spread the cost of planned travel. This should only be considered if the repayment fits your budget and the total cost is clear.

Wedding costs can include venue fees, catering, travel, clothing, photography, and other planned expenses.

Medical or dental expenses can sometimes be unexpected. Before borrowing, it is worth checking whether the cost can be paid in instalments directly with the provider, covered by insurance, or managed another way.
