  July 10, 2017

The holiday season is in full swing and for many of our compatriots the question arises of choosing a vacation. Everyone wants to have a great time these long-awaited days and have a great rest from work that has been so boring for a year. At the same time, a situation often arises when the vacation time has already come, and there are no or not enough funds so necessary for its implementation.

Page content

To date, this problem is being solved quite quickly and efficiently, since many credit organizations in Russia are engaged in providing loans for holidays. Sberbank of Russia did not stand aside and offers to issue a loan for vacation at a rate of 14.5%. This type of borrowing often refers to non-targeted types of lending - a loan is issued for the implementation of various consumer purposes of the borrower, including tourism plans. At the same time, there are a very limited number of special programs for providing funds exclusively for paying for vacations. In most cases, borrowers take out a standard consumer loan, the conditions for obtaining which are often more attractive and, therefore, more profitable. In our article, we will consider a similar lending program for one of the largest Russian financial institutions - Sberbank.

We note right away that this bank does not have programs called "Credit at Sea" or similar ones that relate to targeted loans. For recreation, Sberbank of Russia offers a consumer loan without collateral or a consumer loan secured by individuals. This practice of many banks, because most often, it is easier to issue a consumer loan.

Poll: Are you satisfied with the quality of services provided by Sberbank in general?

YesNot

Loan conditions

Therefore, we will focus on obtaining a standard loan. It should be noted that today Sberbank is one of the top five leading credit institutions in Russia offering various loans at the lowest interest rates. In addition, for regular customers there are special conditions for obtaining funds on credit. In particular, the so-called salary borrowers can count on a loan with a reduced interest rate. Employees of various organizations, which in turn are partners of this bank and have the appropriate accreditation, can also receive loans on preferential terms.

The maximum amount of borrowed funds provided in this financial institution is very large - the limit reaches 1.5 million rubles. Such money is quite enough to implement a wide variety of travel plans and travel not to one, but to several countries at once. If a small amount is required, then the presence of guarantors and security is not mandatory. If the borrower plans to take a large loan, then it will be necessary to provide collateral in the form of some liquid property, as well as reliable guarantors with a good credit history and a fairly high level of income. To apply for a loan, you will need a completely standard list of required documents: a Russian passport, a certificate of monthly income, and a document that confirms the presence of an official place of work. In some cases, Sberbank may require you to provide any additional documents, for example, a certificate of no criminal record.

Holiday loan features

• No fees
• Loan amount - from 15,000 to 1,500,000 rubles for "Consumer loan without collateral"
• and from 15,000 to 3,000,000 rubles for a “Consumer loan secured by individuals”2
• Loan term – from 3 to 60 months inclusive
• The term for consideration of the application is 2 working days from the date of submission of the full package of documents to the Bank

If, for example, 200 thousand rubles are needed to implement all the plans for a great vacation, then you can get a loan for 4 years, then the monthly payment will be about 5 thousand rubles. This is the most acceptable option, since this amount is enough for a trip, and besides, regular payments will be very modest, which in turn will not hit the family budget much. However, if the borrower receives the funds not in cash, but in the form of a credit card, then in this case, in addition to the monthly repayment of the loan, there are also various commission fees. For example, for cash withdrawals and credit card servicing. However, getting borrowed vacation funds in the form of a credit card is ideal, as the money will be safe and always at hand when you travel. Moreover, if the vacation is planned abroad, then it makes sense to issue a gold or platinum credit card, which have a number of advantages. In particular, premium class cardholders can count on getting good discounts when served by companies that are partners of Sberbank. In addition, these credit cards have a higher borrowing limit.

Assistance to the borrower:

On vacation has different names in different banks. The program of this lending can be called a loan for travel, tour, sea. This type of lending is relatively young. It is worth noting the fact that a vacation loan is a targeted loan, which, however, has quite a few features.

More recently, in order to receive money for a vacation, a borrower issued an ordinary non-targeted loan or withdrew cash from, after which he transferred them to a travel agency.

non-purpose loan

As you know, non-targeted credit is a rather expensive pleasure. Typically, the interest rate for such a loan is very high. This is explained by the fact that the bank does not have guarantees of return, since the borrower does not provide the bank with either the purpose of taking funds or any collateral.

With the development of the service sector and the increase in competition for customers between banks, it appeared to purchase travel packages. Recall that such a program is much more profitable than a non-purpose loan. Accordingly, along with the availability of credit, there is an additional demand for tourism. To date, not all credit organizations issue a loan for vacation, but their number is constantly growing.

Holiday loan features

1. The term for consideration of an application for obtaining such a loan can be from one hour to 1-7 working days. It depends both on the loan amount and on the bank. Some banks that provide this service position it as an express loan.

2. As for the period for which a vacation loan is issued, it can also be very different. In most cases, such a loan is granted for a period of 10 to 12 months, although some credit organizations provide it for a period of 3 months to 4 years. The term may vary depending on the total cost of the tour and the amount of the down payment. Usually banks require a down payment of 20-30 percent of the total amount, although some banks provide a loan for 100% of the cost of the tour. It also makes sense to look for just such a tour operator who has agreements with banks. In this case, it will be possible to get a loan faster and on more favorable terms.

3. The interest rate for this loan program usually ranges from 13 to 16 percent, although there are precedents for travel loans at a rate of 9 to 10 percent, as well as from 19 to 26 percent. What determines what kind of interest rate will be assigned to a particular borrower? Everything is quite simple and transparent here. The less risk the bank has, the lower the rate. In order to get the rate as low as possible, you must provide the bank with additional documents proving that you are solvent. Another important factor is credit history. It can both reduce the interest rate on the loan, and increase it. Depending on the currency in which the loan is taken, the interest rate can also vary significantly. Usually loans in rubles are more expensive than loans in foreign currency. The bank can also reduce or increase the interest on the loan, depending on which travel agency the tours were booked with. The more famous and authoritative the agency, the cheaper the loan will cost the borrower.

4. In order to get a vacation loan in the amount of 50 thousand rubles or more, you must have with you not only a certificate of income, but also a guarantor or collateral. If the amount is less than 50 thousand rubles, then the bank does not put forward such requirements.

5. Often, when applying for a loan of this type, money is transferred directly by a bank by bank transfer. This, of course, is positive, because the borrower does not need to cash them out and deliver them to the travel agency on their own. If the agency cooperates with a bank, then usually a loan can be issued directly at the office of the tour operator.

6. If the bank offers to take out life and performance insurance when applying for a loan, you have the right to refuse, but such a refusal may adversely affect the further decision of the bank. The fact is that in the case of signing insurance, the insurance company also acts as a kind of guarantee for the bank to repay the loan.

7. The largest banks in Russia offer, in addition to a loan, a credit card, which can be used both in Russia and abroad.

If you are planning to get a vacation loan, it is vital to clarify all the details of the agreement, especially those that indicate a one-time commission for opening a loan, if any, a fee for using the loan, penalties for late payments, and so on.

Credit Broker

In some cases, it is worth using the services.

This person understands all the intricacies of lending and will be able to choose the best option for you. It is also wiser to find out the conditions for this type of lending in different banks, and not to use the first offer that comes across.

Only after you carefully consider and weigh everything is it worth making a final decision. In this case, the rest will be truly unforgettable and will bring a lot of positive emotions and impressions.

If you don’t have enough money for a trip, but you want to relax, you can take a vacation loan or get a credit card. Several banks provide this service, but each of them has individual conditions that must be taken into account when drawing up an agreement. In addition, there is a way to go on vacation by issuing installments without overpayment.

Bank lending: types and features of programs

In most cases, a vacation loan is a regular consumer cash loan. For such products, banks do not set a clear purpose for the use of funds and often recommend them as a way to organize your vacation.

All financial institutions usually set the same requirements for clients: age from 18 - 21 to 60 years, the presence of a permanent place of employment, Russian citizenship. There are also separate programs that are available for pensioners, where an increased age threshold applies:

• Sovcombank, Money Credit. Term - up to 12 months, from 12% per annum, maximum amount - 100,000 rubles. Restriction - up to 85 years.
• "Interprombank" (available only for residents of Moscow and the region). It is issued for a period of up to 3 years, the age limit is 75 years, the maximum loan amount is 1,000,000 rubles. Percentage of overpayment from 12% per annum.

You can also highlight other lending programs designed for young people over the age of 18:

* from 20 to 24 years old.

Most loans require an online application and pre-approval. Upon approval of the request, the borrower will be issued a plastic card, where the required amount is transferred, or the money will be issued in cash at the lender's cash desk.

Now about whether to take a loan. Making a loan is justified if the borrower finds himself in one of the following situations:

• There is no money for rest, but you feel a huge fatigue from work and you want to take a break for a trip.
• Funds will appear, but in 1-2 months, and the trip is planned now.

At the moment, the most favorable conditions are offered at Sberbank, and significant concessions on interest rates are provided for payroll clients. Tinkoff Bank also has an excellent offer - a card with a credit limit is delivered in a short time to your home or office.

Leisure credit card

In addition to a cash loan, you can order a credit card and use the funds available on it for a trip to the sea. Now a number of banking organizations provide cards with extended grace period and, if you comply with the conditions, it will be possible to use a loan without interest.

The following banks offer the best conditions:

There are also credit cards with bonus miles that can be used to purchase airline tickets or travel agency services. Such products are produced by Alfa-Bank, VTB, Avangard, Rosbank, Tinkoff, Vostochny Bank, Russian Standard and Sberbank. In most cases, for every spent 30-60 rubles. 1-2 miles are credited to the account.

Applying for a loan at a travel agency

If you want to buy a ticket without overpayments, it is best to contact a travel agency that provides its services in installments. It is much more profitable than a regular consumer loan for several reasons:

• You don't have to pay interest.
• The decision is made within 15 minutes.
• An initial deposit is usually not required.

This method of payment also has its drawback - all additional costs, such as buying things, souvenirs and paying for entertainment, are borne by the borrower.

Which travel agencies work in installments or issue loans for trips:

The procedure for obtaining a loan for a tourist trip at the agency is very simple:

1. The client contacts the company with a package of documents.
2. A travel agency specialist draws up an application and sends it for consideration to the bank with which a cooperation agreement has been concluded.
3. If the loan amount is small, the appeal is considered automatically and the answer comes in 5 minutes. For trips costing from 150,000 rubles. it takes up to half an hour.
4. If the application is approved, a loan agreement is drawn up with the client and the documents necessary for the trip are drawn up.

If the travel agency issues vouchers in installments, it usually acts on its own behalf, and not on behalf of the bank. In this case, only one contract is drawn up.

Some banking companies and travel agencies provide loans for trips to the sea or tours in various countries. After weighing all the pros and cons, you can choose the most beneficial program for yourself and relax at the expense of borrowed funds without overpayments.
