Early Loan Repayment Terms
 The Borrower has the right to fully or partially repay the loan early, without paying any penalty, and to fulfill the obligations under the agreement ahead of schedule. 
Accordingly: 
✔ In case of full early repayment of the loan, the Borrower shall pay the interest accrued as of the payment date, service fees, other applicable fees, and the principal amount of the loan. 
✔ In case of partial early repayment: 
  •  The full amount of the next installment specified in the repayment schedule shall be collected. If the payment exceeds this amount, the excess is applied toward repayment of future months. 
  •  If the payment is insufficient to cover the full upcoming installment, repayment is applied in the following order: 
    1.  Service and other fees, 
    2.  Interest, 
    3.  Principal amount of the loan. 

✔ The Borrower may, at their discretion, make advance payments for future scheduled installments. In such cases, payments are applied in the following order:
 
  1.  Service and other fees for future months, 
  2.  Interest calculated for future months (advance payment), 
  3.  Principal amount for future months. 

In this case, the Borrower is exempt from making payments on the scheduled dates to the extent of the prepaid amounts.
4.  In case of partial early repayment, the paid amount is first used to cover the full upcoming installment. If the payment exceeds this amount, the excess is applied to the loan principal, unless the Borrower specifies that it should be distributed across future months as described in clause 6. In such cases, future interest and service fees are recalculated based on the remaining loan balance, resulting in reduced future payments. The Borrower is informed that the repayment schedule has been changed and may request a new schedule from the Lender after one business day. If sent by mail, the updated schedule is provided within 3–5 business days and may be issued in a form signed and stamped only by the Lender.
5.  If the payment is insufficient to fully cover the upcoming installment, service and other fees are repaid first, then interest, and finally the principal.
6.  The Borrower may request that payments for future months be allocated in a specific order: first service and other fees, then interest accrued as of the payment date, then future service fees and interest on the remaining balance, and finally principal, or any other order specified by the Borrower. If no such request is made, clause 4 applies.
7.  If the Borrower makes advance payments for future months under clause 6, they are exempt from payments on the scheduled dates to the extent of those amounts.
 
Penalties and Interest
 
  • If the Borrower fails to fulfill or partially fulfills the obligations within the repayment schedule, the Borrower undertakes to pay the Lender a penalty as follows: 
  • For each overdue day: 0.13% of the overdue (unpaid) principal amount of the loan.
  • For each overdue day: 0.13% of the overdue (unpaid) interest amount. 
  • In case of breach of the repayment schedule (default), the calculation of the contractual annual interest rate on the overdue portion of the loan shall cease, and interest on the overdue amount shall be calculated from the date of default until the actual repayment date at a rate equal to twice the banking interest settlement rate established by the Central Bank of the Republic of Armenia.

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
