Anyone might need a large sum of money. For example, to pay for a major purchase, education, vacation, etc. If they have no savings and cannot ask loved ones for help, they can take out a bank loan. But keep in mind that no financial institution gives away money for free — you have to pay interest for it. Currently, the average interest rate on consumer loans is 25-30% per annum. However, you can try to get a loan on more favorable terms. Here is how to do it.
Can you get a loan at 10% per annum?
Currently, the average overpayment on a consumer cash loan is 25-30% per annum. Some banks offer lower interest rates. As a rule, however, this refers to loans secured by a car or real estate. The overpayment on such loans can start from 4% per annum.
As for a regular unsecured consumer loan, getting it at 10% per annum is currently impossible. But you can try to get money at interest on more favorable terms. We explain how to do this below.
How to get a loan at the lowest interest rate?
Apply to your payroll bank
Banks offer the most favorable lending terms to their payroll clients. This is because financial institutions independently monitor account activity and the regularity of incoming payments. Therefore, lenders are confident in the borrower's solvency and that they are unlikely to face any unforeseen circumstances. Consequently, the person will be able to make their monthly payments.
Let's look at an example with Ak Bars Bank. For payroll clients, the interest rate here ranges from 5% to 40% per annum, while for non-payroll clients it ranges from 28.4% to 47.2% per annum.
Compare loan terms
If the financial institution where the borrower receives their salary does not have special consumer loan offers for payroll clients, they can get a loan at interest from another lender. Before doing so, we recommend comparing the terms offered by lenders. It is best to consider both large companies and small regional ones.
When reviewing the terms, we recommend paying attention to the following:
- minimum and maximum loan amounts and terms;
- minimum and maximum interest rates;
- the possibility of lowering the interest rate when purchasing life and health insurance;
- the availability of special services that reduce overpayment;
- the requirement to provide collateral or bring a guarantor;
- the availability of special offers for certain categories of borrowers.
Look for special offers and promotions
You can often find promotions that allow you to get a consumer loan with minimal overpayment. Some lenders also allow you to get your loan interest refunded altogether.
For example, Bank Sinara allows you to get paid interest back in RUB if you meet simple conditions:
- term of 4 years or more;
- purchasing a Service Package;
- full utilization of the credit limit;
- no delays in monthly payments.
Similar offers are also available at Sovcombank and T-Bank.
Apply for a target loan
If a borrower needs money for a specific purpose, such as purchasing equipment, a car, real estate, paying for education, and so on, they can apply for a target loan. The conditions for such loans are usually better.
Banks offer more favorable lending terms if the borrower takes out a target loan. The company knows that if a person stops making monthly payments, their property can be sold to pay off the debt.
Apply for a large loan
In many banks, the interest rate depends on the amount and term for which the borrower takes out interest-bearing funds. The larger the amount and term, the lower the overpayment.
However, you need to keep in mind that the longer the loan term, the higher the final overpayment. Therefore, if a person wants to apply for a large loan, we recommend that they assess their financial capabilities and consider whether the monthly payments will be comfortable for them.

In almost all financial institutions, favorable lending terms are provided for clients who take out life and health insurance. Despite the fact that insurance is voluntary, borrowers are often forced to take out an unnecessary service. This is due to the fact that without it, credit organizations offer an excessively high interest rate or refuse to lend altogether.
We recommend assessing how rational it is to take out insurance. Sometimes the cost of financial protection exceeds the total overpayment on the loan if you refuse it.
Confirm employment and income
Banks offer more favorable lending terms for borrowers who confirm their income and place of employment. This is due to the fact that with certificates in hand, the lender is confident that the person will be able to handle the monthly payments. And therefore, the risks for the company in such cases are lower.
Provide collateral or bring a guarantor
Favorable lending terms are also provided for borrowers who take out a secured loan, i.e., collateralized by real estate or a vehicle, or with a guarantor. If the client stops making loan payments for any reason, the lending organization will be able to sell the collateralized property to pay off the debt or recover the debt from the guarantor.
Having collateral means lower risks for the lending organization.
