The digital credit card is a temporary digital MasterCard which can be used to pay for goods and services on the Internet in the extent of the credit limit set by Holm Bank AS (hereinafter: the Bank). The digital credit cards are offered by the Bank in cooperation with SIA Transact Pro, provider of payment services.
Using the digital credit card is accompanied by certain obligations and risks. Thus, we advise you to be acquainted with the information and advice below before entry into a loan agreement (NB! This is informative material, which does not grant any rights or impose any obligations);
If you have made the decision to enter into a loan agreement after receiving answers to your questions and giving the matter careful consideration, be sure to pay attention to the following:
Prior to entry into loan agreement, please read the Standard European Consumer Credit Information form presented to you, which outlines the information on the terms and conditions of the loan agreement to be entered. The format of the information form is usually similar between different creditors and facilitates the comparison of offers of different creditors.
In order to use a digital credit card and receive the respective credit limit, you must conclude a loan agreement with the Bank and a card service agreement with the payment service provider SIA Transact Pro (terms and conditions of use of cards). The agreements take effect and the credit limit will become available after signature of the agreements and issue of the card. The agreements shall be signed electronically using Bank’s mobile app or web-based self-service. The card service agreement will be concluded by the Bank on behalf of SIA Transact Pro. There is no contractual fee charged by the Bank for the conclusion of the agreements.
Note that in order to apply for a credit limit and sign agreements via Bank’s mobile app or web-based self-service, you must also enter into an agreement for the use of the Bank’s self-service by accepting the terms and conditions of Holm Bank online self-service environments.
You may withdraw from the loan agreement within 14 days by giving or sending a notification of withdrawal to the Bank. Keep in mind that you will not be under any obligation to use the credit limit – the loan agreement expires with no further obligations if you don’t use the credit limit within 7 days from the issue of the digital credit card.
You will be charged a monthly interest for using the credit limit, which will be calculated on the used credit amount daily. The fixed interest rate applicable to the loan agreement is specified on the front page of the loan agreement as well as in the Standard European Consumer Credit Information form. Interest shall accrue from the day a purchase amount is debited from the account of your loan card up to the day when the used credit limit has been fully returned to the Bank.
Monthly payments, each of which consists of principal and interest payments, shall be made in accordance with the payment schedule. The payment schedule is based on the principle of annuity schedule, which means that monthly payments are usually of equal size. The due date of monthly payments is the 25th day of each month. Our loan agreement does not involve any management fees or other monthly charges.
The amount of monthly payments is fixed after the 7-day validity period of the digital credit card proportional to the chosen repayment period and the actual amounts spent with the card. None of the monthly payments shall be less than 300 SEK. In this case the chosen repayment period will shorten automatically, and the new repayment period will be 3, 6 or 12 months depending on the need to shorten the repayment period in order to reach at least the amount of minimum monthly payment.
You can make contractual payments easily in the Bank’s mobile app or web-based self-service via usual online bank e-payments or direct debit payments. You shall use Trustly Group AB as payment method for making all contractual payments (repayments, interests, costs) to the Bank. Make sure that the payment reaches the account of the Bank on the due date, for example, on weekends and holidays, payments between banks may be delayed. Information about your digital credit card transactions, credit limit and monthly payments can be found in Bank’s mobile app and web-based self-service environment.
You have the right to repay the credit prematurely in larger amounts (or repay the credit in full). Note that in such case, we may claim a compensation amounting to 0,5-1% of the repayable amount.
No administration fee is payable for the digital credit card. Additional costs not regulated in the agreements may derive from the law or the price list published on the Bank’s website. To the extent that it is not unfair and provided that such change does not affect material aspects of the loan agreement, we retain the right to make unilateral amendments to the loan agreement by notifying you thereof at least 1 month in advance
