How borrowing works locally

A lender is free to set its own price below the legal ceiling, and it does so according to the risk it reads in the file.

A revolving product charges interest on the outstanding balance, while an instalment product charges a fixed schedule of payments. A deposit or trade-in reduces the amount financed and therefore the interest charged over the term.
