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

✔ The borrower may, at their discretion, also make payments for future months as specified in the repayment schedule.
  
In that case, repayments will be made in the following order: 
  1. Service and other fees for future months 
  2. Interest accrued for future months (advance payment) 
  3. Principal amount of the loan for future months 
The borrower is exempted from making payments on the scheduled repayment dates for the corresponding future months to the extent of the repayments already made in advance.
  
4.   In case of early partial repayment of the loan, the amount paid shall first be used to cover the full amount of the upcoming scheduled payment defined in the Borrower’s repayment schedule. If the amount paid exceeds the upcoming installment, the excess shall be directed toward loan principal repayment, except in cases where the Borrower specifies that the amount should be distributed across future months as described in clause 6. In such case, future interest and service fees defined in the repayment schedule are calculated based on the remaining loan balance, and the excess principal repayment reduces the interest and service fees of subsequent months accordingly. In such cases, the Borrower is informed that the repayment schedule has been adjusted due to early repayment, and that a new schedule and information on upcoming payments can be obtained from the Lender after one business day. If the Borrower chooses to receive the new schedule by mail, it will be provided within 3–5 business days. In this case, the updated repayment schedule may be issued only as a document signed and stamped by the Lender’s authorized representative, without the Borrower’s signature.

6.   The Borrower has the right to make payments for future months under the repayment schedule, requesting that payments be applied in the following order: service and other fees for future months, interest calculated as of the payment date, future service fees and interest calculated on the remaining loan balance, and finally the future principal amount; or by specifying an alternative repayment order. If no such request is made, the rules defined in clause 4 shall apply. 
7.   In cases where the Borrower makes advance payments for future months as defined in clause 6, they are exempted from making payments on the scheduled dates to the extent of such advance payments.

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
