Review on FMO by Aditya Wheeler

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Fair concern

FMO bank is an international financial association designed as a private, bilateral Dutch association established in the Netherlands. FMO is managed by the Ministry of Economic Affairs and Local Government of the Dutch nation to improve the economic development impact of domestic financial investments. FMO is represented by twenty-nine banks throughout the Netherlands that are totally or partially owned by international commercial banks that are listed with the Amsterdam stock exchange. There are two types of services that the association offers to customers; namely direct refinancing and indirect refinancing. These two services have different refinancing options under which customers can choose their suitable refinancing scheme.
A fixed rate refinancing means that the amount which the customer will be provided by the bank depends completely on the prevailing interest rates. For example, when the fixed rate refinance is offered to a customer who wishes to convert a seventy thousand Krone bank deposit into five hundred thousand Krone, then this transaction will be providing the customer with a fixed rate for a period of one year up to thirty years. The interest rates are usually fixed over this period and are subject to fluctuation at the end of this period. However, some banks may agree to lower the interest rates during this period if they believe that the market conditions are likely to change during the first year of the fixed rate refinancing scheme.
An indirect refinancing scheme involves the transfer of a loan from one bank to another, with the aim of lowering the rate that would otherwise be charged to the customer. For example, if a customer wishes to convert his twenty-year old car loan into a fifteen-year fixed rate car loan, then he can do this by approaching any number of dealers and lenders who offer such services. After selecting a lender, the customer should compare the annual percentage rates of various lenders before deciding on which lender to approach for the refinancing scheme. However, there are instances where the fixed rate refinance does not include any service charges. The customer may also pay fees for such services as early payment or handling charges.
The variable rate refinancing scheme is the opposite of the fixed rate. In this case, a customer decides upon a different interest rate. This decision is based upon the expected interest rates over a period of time and the present value of money at the point of closing. In addition, the rate may be determined by taking into consideration the actual amount that the customer will save if he decides to switch over to the higher interest rate.
The FMOs differ in the amount they charge their customers. Some companies charge the full interest on the entire loan at the same time. Other companies charge the client only once a month and require him to make a repayment according to this figure. There are other companies that require the client to make interest rate payments only on certain months of the loan. Again, there are other kinds of variables to that may affect the payment structure of these loans.
The fixed rate refinancing program allows the customer to get a fixed rate for a specified duration. This means that the customer can budget his loan repayments based on the current interest rates and this can help him plan out his monthly expenses. It would be beneficial if you could find a company that offers both adjustable and fixed rate loans so that you can compare the terms of each type of loan before you actually apply for one.
