What is a loan ?

– Information about lending money –

 

A loan means that you lend money from a person, a company or an institution, and then pay back the money with interest (fee).

In other words – you pay back more money than you borrow.

“Interest” is the fee that the company charges you to be able to run it’s business.

When borrowing money, one should check that the effective interest rate is as low as possible.
