Personal loans from licensed lenders, with each lender's representative example, APR range, amounts and terms.

Attention! Borrowing money costs money.

neobanksemea is not a lender, credit broker or credit agent. We do not collect loan applications and do not give advice. The lender decides whether to offer you credit and on what terms.

Some links in this section are affiliate links. If you submit a loan request through them, the lender may pay neobanksemea a commission, whether or not you take the loan. This does not change the terms you are offered. Our order is editorial and never paid.

Loans repaid from your salary or pension

With a salary or pension assignment loan (cessione del quinto), the instalment is taken straight from your payslip or pension, for up to 10 years. Please read this before you apply:

  • The instalment can be up to one fifth of your net monthly salary or pension, so your take-home pay falls for the whole term.
  • The term can be up to 120 months. Paying off early is allowed, but check the costs in the SECCI first.
  • Life and job-loss insurance is compulsory. Check who pays for it and whether its cost is included in the APR.
  • For pensioners, INPS sets maximum rates for loans under its convention. Compare the APR you are offered with them.
  • If you already struggle with repayments, a longer loan can lower the instalment but raise the total cost. Consider free debt advice first.

Before you borrow

  • Borrow only what you need and can repay. Work out the instalment against your monthly budget.
  • Compare the APR (TAEG), not just the interest rate (TAN): the APR includes most costs.
  • Read the SECCI (standard European consumer credit information) the lender must give you before you sign.
  • You have 14 days to withdraw from a consumer credit agreement after signing it.
  • If you have several debts, a consolidation loan can lower the monthly instalment but often costs more in total.
