This lets us better judge if it's responsible for you to take out a loan. If your financial situation is healthy enough for you take out the loan you applied for, you'll receive a quote. If your financial situation is less than ideal, you may still be able to take out a smaller loan. We may also deny your application. You can also apply for a loan if you're registered with the BKR.
Positive BKR registration – If you take out a loan for more than €250 with a term longer than one month, a bank or lender is obligated to register it with the BKR. This is a positive registration. If you make your repayments in time, the registration won't have any negative consequences. A credit provider will be able to see your good payment behaviour and can offer you a loan befitting your financial situation.
Negative registration – If you've missed more than two repayments, we're obligated to report this to the BKR. As a result, you'll receive a negative registration. This may affect future loans and mortgages.

How stress-free borrowing works at ING

We don't want a loan to get you in trouble, even during an unexpected setback. You can take out a loan if you have a temporary contract or certain benefits.

Total loan amount - The agreed amount that you borrow.
Term/instalments in months - A personal loan has a fixed loan term – 60 months, for instance. You'll repay the total amount you've borrowed during this period. You cannot withdraw repayments once they're paid.
Fixed interest rate - The interest rate that you pay for the loan on an annual basis. For a personal loan, the interest you pay is fixed for the entire term.
Annual percentage rate (APR) - This rate consists of the interest you pay for the loan and additional charges, calculated per year. An ING loan requires an ING current account. When you take out a personal loan and open a current account, you can choose our orange package (OranjePakket), which includes My ING and the free mobile banking app. You can choose not to use your debit card for payment terminals and ATMs.
Instalment (per month) - The monthly interest and principal payment for your loan.
Total loan cost - For personal loans, this is the total amount you pay in interest and principal.
