Cons

  • Support runs on phone only, with no online channel listed
  • Applications are restricted to Algerian nationals resident in Algeria with a minimum regular income
  • A fixed-term contract must last at least the loan term, which rules out short contracts

The company behind it

The lending entity is Société Générale Algérie spa, a subsidiary based in Algeria and set up in 2000. It deals with borrowers directly rather than acting as a broker, so the application and the contract stay with the bank.

Frequently asked questions

How much can I borrow from Societe Generale Algerie?+

Consumer credit runs from DZD 50,000 to DZD 1,500,000, with a fixed-rate model. Home purchase or remortgage borrowing sits alongside it, so the amount you can take depends on which product you pick. The term is 12 to 60 for the consumer loan.

What rate do I pay and can it change?+

The consumer loan uses a fixed rate model, which means the rate you are offered holds for the whole 12 to 60 term. The property loan carries an initial rate of 6% to 6.75% with a fixed period of 2 to 20.

Can I repay the loan early?+

Yes. Free early repayment applies, so clearing the balance before 12 to 60 runs out carries no extra charge. That makes the fixed rate easier to plan around, since paying off sooner simply reduces the interest you pay.

Who can apply for a loan?+

Applications are open to Algerian nationals resident in Algeria who have a permanent contract or a fixed-term contract lasting at least the loan term. You also need a minimum regular income and to fall inside the bank's age window, with a minimum age at application and a maximum age at the final instalment.

How long does a decision take?+

The bank answers within a couple of days, subject to a complete application file. Incomplete paperwork is what slows a consumer credit application down, and the property loan is handled through the same bank as a direct lender.

What is the property loan used for?+

The purchase and remortgage purposes listed are home purchase and remortgage, aimed at home improvement and other housing needs. The maximum loan to value is 90%, and the fixed period can run to 2 to 20.

How do I get help with my application?+

Phone is the channel listed, so phone is where questions go. No online or email route appears in the details, which is worth knowing before you start an application at the branch.

How does this compare with other lenders here?+

Across the site, the median rate on a consumer loan is 12%, with a lower quartile of 6.13% and an upper quartile of 24.92%. The median amount on offers like these is €876.96 and the median term is 36. That spread shows how wide the market is.
