Our services
Fixed Advance
Do you need capital temporarily? Our Fixed Advance is a good way to meet your short-term liquidity needs. It can be used to optimise your cash management. The interest rate you pay is set when the advance is paid out and remains the same for the agreed duration. The interest rate is calculated on the basis of short-term money market interest rates* plus a margin that depends on your credit rating and the duration of the advance. At the end of that duration you repay the full amount of the advance. A Fixed Advance can also be rolled over.
Advantages
- Liquidity generated for operational purposes
- Precisely calculable thanks to fixed interest rate
- No loan commission
Restrictions
- Lock-in for the loan duration

Are you keen to cover your borrowing requirements over the medium to long term? With a VP Bank loan serving as an investment loan you can invest over the long term in fixed assets such as vehicles, machinery, IT infrastructure and operational facilities.

The loan is repaid over the agreed duration.

Current account overdraft
Does the balance on your business current account fluctuate seasonally? Do you frequently have to pre-finance orders? Would you prefer to pay interest only on the credit you actually draw down? When we grant you a current account overdraft, we make an amount of money available to you for a definite or indefinite duration by allowing you to use funds from your account beyond your actual balance up to an agreed overdraft limit. You can draw down this money all in one go or in multiple partial amounts.
Advantages
- Interest is charged only on the amount of the overdraft actually used and only for the time it is used.
- You are fully flexible, with no restrictions on using the overdraft within the upper limit.
- This means you maximise your entrepreneurial room for manoeuvre.
Restrictions
- For the duration of your overdraft the interest rate is subject to market forces with no upper limit.
- For businesses with sound finances and good prospects of future success
