Take a break from your credit repayments
There may be times when you need to take a break from your credit repayments. You are allowed to take two instalment-free months per year. During an instalment-free month, you do not need to pay the invoice. Similarly, taking an instalment-free month will not increase the amount invoiced in the following month. Please note that the interest and costs of the instalment-free month will be added to your credit balance, so your original credit period will thereby be extended.
Instalment-free months cannot be used during the repayment of an equal-payment purchase. If you prefer to take an instalment-free month despite the equal payments campaign, your purchase repaid in equal payments will become interest-bearing in accordance with the credit terms and conditions.
You may also change the instalment-free months you have chosen according to your needs. You can choose, cancel or change instalment-free months in the service under ‘Instalment-free month’. Please note that the instalment-free months cannot be consecutive months. Taking an instalment-free month is free of charge.
In the OmaLuotto service, you can take an instalment-free month under ‘Instalment-free months’ or ‘Credit account settings’.
