(interest margin of 0.05% plus CLBBR of 2.45%) over a term of 15 years: The APRC will be 2.564% p.a. and the loan will be repayable in 180 equal monthly instalments of €66.84 over a term of 15 years. During the first 3 years of the loan, the interest rate will be subsidised by 2.00% p.a. The total sum payable throughout the term of the loan, assuming the interest rate subsidy of 2.00% p.a. during the first 3 years of the loan and assuming the variable interest rate remains unchanged, will be €11,477.07 consisting of €10,000 capital and €1,477.07 interest. Without the subsidy on interest during the first 3 years, the total sum payable throughout the term of the loan, assuming the variable interest rate remains unchanged, will be €12,031.20 consisting of €10,000 capital and €2,031.20 interest. The subsidy on interest may therefore result in a savings of up to €554.13. No processing fees apply on this product.
