* Danske Bank offers this benefit and service package for a period of five years to union members who have graduated within two years prior to activation of the benefits. Eligibility for Mastercard Platinum and Priority PassTM cards require a favourable credit decision.
** Interest on the credit is linked to the 12-month Euribor reference rate + a margin of 4.90 percentage units. The product is a Danske Bank one-time loan. The annual percentage rate is 6.737% on a credit of EUR
5,000 (10 March 2021). The estimated total credit to be repaid, including interest and fees on a credit of EUR 5,000 is EUR 5,891.95 (10 March 2021), including invoice fees of EUR 5/month over the credit period of five years, EUR 300 in total. The estimated total credit to be repaid and annual percentage rate have been calculated on the assumption that the credit period is five years, that the credit will be drawn down immediately in full, that the interest rate on the credit and service charges remain the same throughout the credit period and that the credit is repaid in equal monthly instalments over 60 months. The calculation has taken into account the costs relating to the setting up, withdrawing and contractual recovery of the credit. This does not constitute a loan offer. The granting of a loan always requires an approved credit decision. To make the credit decision, Danske Bank checks the customer’s personal credit information with Suomen Asiakastieto Oy.
