Frequently asked questions

What does a personal loan from Sparkasse Banka Skopje cost?+

The S Plus consumer loan is listed at an APR of 6.6%, which sits below the site median of 12% for personal loans. The published example pairs that cost with credit life insurance and a fixed rate for the opening period, so the headline figure already includes the cover.

How much can I borrow, and for how long?+

Amounts reach up to MKD 2,400,000, and the longest term the bank publishes is up to 95. The example on the site shows the top amount repaid across that longest schedule, with a fixed rate at the start and credit life insurance included, so a bigger loan means a longer commitment.

What fees are charged on top of the borrowing?+

The personal loan adds a separate upfront application fee, a larger upfront administrative fee and a small upfront fee for credit bureau data, all charged as individual items. The home loan product carries an upfront product fee of MKD 900. Ask for the full set in writing before you commit.

Am I dealing with a bank or a broker?+

Does the rate stay the same for the whole loan?+

What can I use the home loan for?+

The home loan is aimed at buying a property and at drawing on home equity, purchase and home equity. It runs at an initial rate of 3.5% held for 3, with an upfront product fee of MKD 900. Repaying an existing mortgage and building to let are not among the listed purposes.

How do I get help with the account?+
