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.

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.
Illustration in the May 2024 PDF, not a current rate: deposit 3.1% + 1.5% = 4.6% for five years; example T-bills 3.71%, fee 0.5%. The deposit rate and chosen schedule require confirmation.
The page caps lending at 90% of the deposit. The PDF requires 110% coverage in the same currency and 120% across currencies; the bank confirms your applicable limit. Source ↗
