Car Financing Options
Hellenic Bank offers a range of car financing solutions designed to help customers purchase their dream vehicle with ease and flexibility. Whether you are in the market for a new or used car, or considering an environmentally friendly option like an electric or hybrid car, Hellenic Bank provides tailored financing options to suit your needs. With competitive interest rates, flexible repayment terms, and no initial bank charges, these loans make car ownership more accessible for a wide range of customers.
Car financing is available through a financial leasing model, which provides co-ownership of the vehicle between the customer and the bank until the loan is fully repaid. This means that you can start driving your car immediately after approval and collection from the dealer, while paying off the loan over a set period. Customers can also take advantage of the no-prepayment fee policy, allowing them to repay their loan earlier without penalty, and can benefit from motor insurance discounts.
In this material, we will outline the key features and conditions of Hellenic Bank’s Car Financing products, including Green Car Financing for electric and hybrid vehicles. These loans come with competitive fixed or variable interest rates, and provide clear repayment terms to make the process as straightforward as possible.
