Borrowing money is an excellent solution if, for example, you want to make a large purchase, but you do not have enough savings available. You can then (partly) finance this major purchase, such as a car or a renovation of your house, with a loan. You are certainly not the only one in the Netherlands who borrows money. For example, did you know that:
It is of course important that you make a good, safe and responsible choice. This way you can prevent paying an unnecessary amount for your loan and getting into financial problems because of a loan.
By comparing loans before you make a choice, you can easily save a lot of money. On average, you can save 580 euros on your total loan.
The difference between the lowest and highest interest rates for a loan is 4 percent. It is therefore worthwhile to compare different loans. According to the Dutch Authority for Consumers and Markets (ACM), you can easily save hundreds of euros per year.
Geld.nl helps you with your comparison and making a good choice. We give you insight into the loans available to you and what you should pay attention to.
On Geld.nl you can compare loans from the most complete range of banks and lenders in the Netherlands. We strive to include all providers and products in our comparison, even if we do not have a partnership with the provider in question. In this overview you can see which lenders we include in the comparison and which we do not. If we do not show a lender, this is because the lender does not share data with us or because the lender no longer offers loans for new customers.
You can compare your loan completely free on Geld.nl. We receive commission from the lender (an ongoing fee) if you take out a loan through Geld.nl. We receive this commission from the moment you receive the money in your account. The amount of the reimbursement varies per product and per provider.
If you use your loan to get life insurance, we will not receive any compensation from the insurer. You pay us a one-off fixed amount of 99 euros in order to get life insurance.
We offer you a 100% independent comparison on Geld.nl. You compare the loans that are available for your situation and wishes. You can usually apply for the loan of your choice directly online on our website. Do you still need help during your comparison and/or application? Then our certified experts are ready to answer these questions.
The role of Geld.nl during the application process varies per lender. For some loans in the comparison you will see that the application is made via Geld.nl advisors. If you choose one of these loans, your application will be linked to one of Geld.nl's financial experts. He or she personally supervises the entire application process and is your permanent point of contact for questions about your loan.
Other lenders handle the application process themselves. From the moment you have requested a quote on our site, you can contact the lender with any questions. Once you have requested a quote, we will let you know who you can contact from then on.
Before you can make a loan comparison, we first ask you to fill in some information about yourself and your desired loan. Based on this information, we then show you all the loans that are available for your situation and wishes.
You always see the cheapest loan, the loan with the lowest interest, at the top of your comparison. You can also sort the loans yourself by price/quality or the review score that (former) customers have given the lender. In addition, you can use the filters to adjust the comparison based on characteristics that you find important and adjust your loan amount, term or type of loan. This way you will always find the most suitable and most affordable loan for your situation and wishes.
We think it is important that you find a cheap loan, but above all that you choose a responsible loan. That is why we provide you with 7 useful tips to ensure you consider everything necessary to make a well-informed and suitable choice.
Whether you want to borrow for a car or finance a renovation, you naturally want an affordable loan that suits your needs.
At Geld.nl we help you with this. You first enter some information about yourself and your wishes for your loan. We then show all loans that are available to you and that suit your needs. You can see the cheapest loan for your situation immediately at the top. You can then compare the loans based on conditions and customer reviews. This way you always make a good choice for your loan and never unnecessarily pay too much.
You can choose from two types of loans on Geld.nl: a personal loan or a revolving credit.
A personal loan is almost always the best choice. With this loan form, you will receive the loan amount in your account in one go. You then pay back a fixed amount of interest and repayment every month. That gives peace and security.
With a revolving credit, you agree on a credit limit with the lender. Up to that amount, you decide for the first two years how much money you withdraw and when you do so. After the first two years, you can only make repayments on the loan until you have repaid the loan amount in full.
If you borrow money with a personal loan, you choose the term of your loan yourself. That is the number of months in which you repay the loan.
The longer the term, the lower your monthly costs. The amount you have to repay is spread over several months. But watch out! You also pay interest for longer. This means that your personal loan will ultimately be more expensive with a longer term. Therefore, choose the shortest possible term with a monthly payment that you can easily pay.
The best loan is different for everyone. That's why you always make a tailor-made comparison on Geld.nl.
By entering information about yourself and your situation, you will see all loans that suit your situation. The cheapest loan with the lowest interest that suits your personal situation is at the top. Therefore, always check whether the lender of your choice has a license from the Netherlands Authority for the Financial Markets (AFM) and De Nederlandsche Bank (DNB).
If you are going to borrow money, it is useful that you can repay part or all of the loan early.
With almost every loan you see on Geld.nl, you can make additional repayments for free during the term. You can read more about this in the article Repaying a loan early.
Attention! With the Santander personal loan you do pay a fine if you repay more than your monthly amount.
Also check the current loan interest rates regularly during the term.
If interest rates drop, transferring your loan to a new loan may be interesting. Read more about transferring your loan on the Loan transfer page.
