The annual nominal rate is used to calculate interest on the outstanding loan amount; it excludes fees and is different from APR. Rates depend on the currency, customer profile and fixed period. BTH refers to Albanian Treasury bills, while Euribor is a benchmark for euro borrowing. For a variable rate, the published minimum is a floor; the rate you pay may be higher.
Salary at the lending bank
These rates distinguish income source (salary/rent/business). That does not establish a discount for transferring salary to this bank. Request a separate quote for that condition.
What does salary transfer mean?
For an offer conditional on salary transfer, salary must be credited to an account at the lending bank; simply having an account there is not the same. Ask how long you must keep your salary there and what account or package fees apply. The bank confirms eligibility.

Annual percentage rate (APR)
APR (annual percentage rate) expresses borrowing costs as a yearly percentage, including interest and the fees included in the calculation. The nominal rate covers interest alone. APR is not an additional charge. Where available, the bank’s published examples are shown below; your offer may differ. Compare the same currency, amount, term and customer profile.
Example benchmark: 2.73%. First year T-bills + 1.5%, then + 2%, floor 2.5%. Fee ALL 80,000. The example payment after year one is ALL 45,444; the index can change. Published total is principal plus interest, excluding additional costs.
Published APR 4.599%. The illustration uses 3.73% in year one and 4.23% thereafter; 3.73% is below the published current 4% floor. Confirm the offer. The loan payment becomes EUR 490 after year one; account EUR 1/month, insurance and 1% disbursement are additional.
