Finding an available, competent and truly neutral expert is not always easy in the world of credit. At Crédit Populaire Européen, we have chosen a different path: to put at your disposal a structured, didactic FAQ where every answer is written with one objective in mind – to inform you completely and correctly, with no commercial pressure.
Our specialized lawyer has built a particularly comprehensive website dedicated to credit law and banking practices. This resource is updated daily in 2026 to reflect legal evolutions, market practices and the most common questions asked by borrowers like you.
You will find on our FAQ section a clear distinction between questions relating to mortgage credit and those concerning consumer credit (personal loan, installment loan). Each theme is organized so that you can quickly find the information you need, whether you are at the stage of discovery, negotiation or refinancing of your credit.

Many other specific questions are also covered so you can better understand loan‑to‑value ratios, guarantees, early repayment, notary fees and all the elements that impact the total cost of your mortgage credit.
You are planning a personal project, need to finance an unforeseen expense or want to consolidate existing credits? Our consumer credit FAQ helps you understand the rules, timelines and conditions that apply to personal loans and installment loans in Belgium.
