 In the case of loans provided, upon early fulfillment of the obligations specified in the agreement, including full or partial early repayment of the loan, the Borrower shall pay a penalty of up to 5% (five percent) of the amount repaid early, as partial compensation for the Lender’s foregone expected income.
 
 
Moreover: 
✔ In case of full early repayment of the loan, the borrower shall pay the interest accrued as of the payment date, the service fee, other applicable fees, and the loan principal. 
✔ In case of partial early repayment of the loan:
  • The full amount due for the next payment as defined in the borrower’s repayment schedule shall be charged. If the payment made exceeds the amount due for the upcoming installment, the excess amount shall be applied toward repayment of future monthly obligations. 
  • In cases where the payment is insufficient to cover the full amount of the upcoming installment as defined in the repayment schedule, repayment shall be made in the following order: 
  1. Principal debt and other fees (if any), 
  2.  Penalties (if any), 
  3.  Service fees, 
  4.  Interest, 
  5.  Loan principal.

If the amount paid exceeds the amount due for the upcoming installment, the excess shall be applied toward loan repayment, except in cases where the Borrower specifies that the funds should be allocated to future months of the repayment schedule, as provided in Clause 6. 
In such cases, the interest amounts and service fees for future payments specified in the repayment schedule shall be recalculated based on the remaining loan principal, and accordingly, the service fees and interest for the following month(s) shall be reduced proportionally to the additional amount repaid early. 
In this case, the Borrower shall be informed that, due to early repayment, the future repayment schedule has been modified, and that in order to obtain a new repayment schedule and/or information on the next installment, the Borrower may apply to the Lender after one business day. 
If the Borrower chooses to receive the new repayment schedule via postal service, the Lender shall provide (send) it to the Borrower within 3–5 business days. In this case, the new repayment schedule may be provided (sent) only as a document signed and stamped unilaterally by the Lender’s authorized employee, without the Borrower’s signature. 
5. If the amount paid is insufficient to fully cover the upcoming installment as defined in the Borrower’s repayment schedule, service fees and other charges shall be repaid first, followed by interest, and then the loan principal. 
6. The Borrower has the right to pay amounts for future months under the repayment schedule, requesting that in such case the following order of repayment be applied: first, service fees and other charges for future months; then interest calculated as of the payment date; then service fees and interest for future months calculated on the remaining loan principal; and finally, the loan principal for future months, or may specify a different order of repayment. In the absence of such a request, the rule set out in Clause 4 shall apply. 
7. In cases where the Borrower makes payments for future months in accordance with Clause 6, the Borrower shall be exempt from making payments on the scheduled repayment dates to the extent of such prepayments.

Information About Credit History and SCORE Rating
 
What is a credit history? Credit history shows how you have fulfilled and continue to fulfill all your financial and credit obligations. Your credit history includes only data from the last 5 years from the date of the credit history inquiry (received loans - their quantity and amount, type and terms of each loan, repayment performance, guarantees provided to other people, presence of overdue loans, as well as associated fines and penalties). Example: If an inquiry about your credit history is made in July 2024, your credit history will reflect information only from July 2019 onwards. We also inform you that receiving a credit report from ACRA Credit Bureau once a year is free of charge. You can obtain your credit report online from the ACRA Credit Bureau website (www.acra.am) once a year and check your credit behavior. If you notice any errors, contact the lending organization to correct them. 

 What is a SCORE? 

The score is a customer creditworthiness rating formed in the scoring system, which is obtained through the analysis of various available information about the customer and the application of statistical methods. Based on the score rating, the possible credit limit, term, and other conditions for a specific type of loan can be determined. 

Arfin UCO LLC uses the ACRA SP3 complete report in the lending process, through which customer data is collected and analyzed, as well as information from various available information sources such as ACRA Credit Bureau, EKENG, NORK, and other databases is analyzed. Internal analysis algorithms are based on several key parameters, including the customer's credit history and financial behavior, credit load, income, and other factors. 

To improve the SCORE rating, the borrower can: 

  • Pay off or reduce the number/amount of overdue loans
  • Avoid generating overdue obligations even for one day in the future
  • Reduce the number and amount of provided guarantees
  • Ensure complete repayment of overdue amounts for provided guarantees
  • Reduce the number and balances of existing loans by partially or fully repaying them
