Learn about Working Mom affordable consumer loan
New offer
Intesa Sanpaolo Bank, on the occasion of this year’s International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women, launched a new consumer loan – Working Mom. The aim is to empower women, mothers in particular, and help them achieve financial independence and facilitate balancing work and family life. Fathers can also apply for the loan.
The main features of the loan
The Working Mom consumer loan is intended for the payment of eligible childcare costs (public or private kindergarten, organised childcare). It is divided into two stages:
- Drawing – from 12 to 60 months and
- Repayment – over 12 to 107 months.
Drawing stage: If you meet the loan conditions and have a transaction account opened with Intesa Sanpaolo Bank d.d. to which your regular monthly income is credited, you are eligible for a loan that you can draw from 12 to a maximum of 60 months.
The maximum drawing period depends on the age of the child, which must not exceed 36 months on the day the loan agreement is concluded.
You will be able to draw the loan every 6 months (a visit to the branch is required). Funds will be credited to your transaction account upon each drawing.
The amount of the loan depends on the childcare costs that you pay (public or private kindergarten, organised childcare), your creditworthiness and the loan drawing and repayment period.
The maximum loan amount is EUR 15,000 and the minimum is EUR 300.

Repayment stage: The repayment period depends on the drawing period and is 107 months maximum. The repayment stage starts at the latest in the year when the child turns 6 (or earlier).
