Frequently asked questions

What rate will I pay on a Byblos Bank Armenia loan?+

The rate is fixed at 15.41% to 15.63% for the full term, so your monthly payment does not change if rates move elsewhere. You borrow AMD 400,000 to AMD 10,000,000 over 12 to 48, and the rate sits above the 12% median across the listings here.

Are there any fees to set up the loan?+

There is no arrangement fee: the setup charge is 0 AMD and the percentage fee is 0%. Nothing is taken for setting the loan up, so the cost of borrowing comes down to interest on the amount you draw.

How fast do I get the money?+

Approval and disbursement happen within minutes, with same-day funding as a listed feature. That is quicker than the 82.9% share of listings across the site that promise a same-day payout.

What credit check do I need to pass?+

The application uses a hard credit check and a good credit history is expected. A hard check is what 76.5% of personal loans on the site rely on, so plan for a full search rather than a soft one.

Can I pay the loan off early?+

Yes, early repayment is free, so you can clear the balance whenever you like without a charge. Free early repayment is offered by 79.5% of the personal loans in the ranking.

Who can apply for a loan?+

You must be a resident of Armenia, an adult, and either salaried or self-employed with a minimum monthly net income set by the bank. The lender operates in a single market, so applications from outside Armenia are not covered.

Which kinds of loan can I get?+

The range covers personal, car, student and business lending, and home improvement is the stated use case. Support runs on phone, email and help centre, so you can ask about the right product before applying.
