WHAT ARE THE MATURITY PERIODS FOR VEHICLE LOANS?

36 months for vehicles between 2.5 million TL and 5 million TL,

24 months for vehicles between 5 million TL and 6.5 million TL,

12 months for vehicles between 6.5 million TL and 7.5 million TL.

70% loan ratio for vehicles 2.5 million TL and below

50% for vehicles between 2.5 million TL and 5 million TL

30% for vehicles between 5 million TL and 6.5 million TL

20% for vehicles between 6.5 million TL and 7.5 million TL.

Loan usage is not permitted for vehicles exceeding 7.5 million TL.

WHAT ARE THE RESTRUCTURING CONDITIONS?

Within the scope of the new regulations, the maturity periods valid at the date of the initial loan disbursement will be taken into account for the restructuring of vehicle loans. In this way, loan restructurings can be carried out in a more fair and transparent manner.

With these regulations, the BRSA aims to make the use of vehicle loans more controlled and sustainable. The new rules offer a clearer framework for both consumers and financial institutions.
