Support Fund Borrowers
Support is provided under the Act of 9 October 2015 on Support of Borrowers in a Difficult Financial Situation, Who Took a Housing Loan (Journal of Laws 2015 item 1925).
The support consists in granting returnable monies assigned for repayment of the borrower’s liabilities under the housing loan, for a period no longer than 18 months. If during this period circumstances arise, excluding the possibility of receiving support (e.g. the borrower found a job and job loss was the only condition of eligibility for support, or the level of income per capital in the household rose), payment of the support will be stopped.
The amount of support is determined on a case-by-case basis depending on the amount of monthly principal/interest payment made by the borrower, whereas the amount of support may not be higher than 1500 PLN monthly. In case of loans granted in a foreign currency the amount of maximum support shall be the equivalent of the amount of 1 500 PLN converted at the average NBP rate (from the day of maturity of the monthly payment of the housing loan, due according to the housing loan repayment schedule in the month preceding the month of submitting the application for support).
The support shall be granted on the basis of an agreement signed between the Bank and the borrower.
The support is paid in an amount constituting the equivalent of upcoming principal and interest payments of the housing loan, subject to the above-mentioned amount restriction.
Repayment by the borrower of support shall be made after two years from payment of the last instalment of the support during 8 subsequent years in equal non-interest monthly instalments.
Borrowers may submit applications for support starting from 19 February 2016 in the Bank’s branches.
