How to Prepare Successfully?
Applying for a bank loan—whether consumer, residential, or mortgage—requires serious preliminary preparation and a precise set of documents. Good organisation is crucial, as the absence of even a single document can lead to unpleasant consequences:
-
Delays in the review of your application.
-
Rejection of the deal by a notary;
-
Unforeseen additional costs;
-
Loan refusal by the bank.
Here are the structured document packages for the type of financing you are applying for.
Required Documents for an Unsecured Consumer Loan
If you are planning an unsecured consumer loan, you will need:
-
ID Card: A copy certified as “True to the original,” dated, and signed;
-
Loan Application: Completed form and accompanying declarations from the bank;
-
Income Certificate: Required for at least the last 6 months if your income exceeds the maximum insurance threshold or is not visible in the National Social Security Institute (NOI) system;
-
Proof of Other Income: Documentation for any additionally declared proceeds.
