[Bank Loans – These are loans provided by banks. These loans are supervised by the Czech National Bank. Obtaining a bank loan is somewhat difficult for the average citizen. Banks impose greater requirements on their customers in terms of collateral and adequate repayment ability. However, bank loans are more advantageous to customers because of better interest rates.
Non-bank loans – These loans can be borrowed from various companies or from individuals or firms. These loans are supervised by the Czech State Inspection Service. It is not very difficult for clients to access these loans. Small loans can be made without a guarantor or proof of income. The disadvantages of these loans are the high interest rates and the need for timely repayment.

Overdraft , or overdraft, allows customers to withdraw funds from their account even if they run out of funds in their account. This service is arranged in addition to a checking account. The amount of the overdraft is agreed upon in advance, i.e., the maximum amount of funds that can be withdrawn. The bank charges a fee and interest for this service.
Whichever type of loan you choose, you need to consider the interest and APR (annual percentage rate). Some loans require collateral, and banks may check the creditworthiness of the customer. It is a good idea to think and discuss the various options with the bank advisor as well as the family beforehand.
