The APR indicates how much a loan will cost you over a one-year period. It’s given as a percentage: the lower the %, the more affordable the loan. The APR is calculated according to a formula used throughout the EU. This formula takes into account all of the unavoidable costs involved in issuing a loan. For more information, see: The APR and how it is calculated | Coop Pank.
As a rule, we transfer the loan amount to you on the working day after you sign your contract, once we’ve confirmed your identity (if needed). Depending on your bank, the money will appear in your account on the same working day as or the working day after we’ve transferred it.
If a loan you’ve already taken out doesn’t prove to be enough, you can always apply for another loan. You can submit a new application online at https://www.cooppank.ee/en/small-loan.

You must have made at least three repayments on your existing small loan before you can submit a new application.
Small loan insurance is a good way of mitigating risks. It will help you if you:
- are no longer able to work due to an accident or illness;
- lose your job; or

In the event of the borrower’s death, the insurance will cover the repayment of the balance of the loan to the lender so that this obligation doesn’t transfer to their heirs.Our small loan insurance is offered by If Kindlustus.
