lisäkorkojen

Lisäkorko, or additional interest, is a financial term used in the context of loans and credit agreements. It refers to the interest charged on top of the standard interest rate, typically due to certain conditions or circumstances. These conditions can include late payments, exceeding credit limits, or other factors that increase the risk for the lender. Lisäkorko is designed to compensate lenders for the increased risk associated with these conditions. It is important for borrowers to understand the terms and conditions of their loans, as lisäkorko can significantly increase the overall cost of borrowing. Lenders often include clauses in loan agreements that outline the circumstances under which lisäkorko may be applied. Borrowers should carefully review these clauses to avoid unexpected additional charges. In some cases, lisäkorko may be temporary, such as during a grace period for late payments, while in other cases, it may become permanent if the underlying condition persists. It is advisable for borrowers to communicate with their lenders if they believe they are being charged an unfair lisäkorko, as there may be options for negotiation or dispute resolution.
