Net drawdown

The total interest and its tax are deducted on the drawdown date; Bankacı shows the net amount separately, because that is the figure asked for.

Who it is for

Banks that offer prepaid-interest products, and customers who want the whole cost visible from day one.

The tax is paid up front too

Because the interest is collected at drawdown, KKDF and BSMV are worked out and deducted at the same moment. What the customer receives is the loan less both the interest and the tax; Bankacı states the three amounts separately.

The headline rate misleads a comparison

Two offers can carry the same nominal rate and leave the customer with different amounts of money if one of them charges interest up front. The comparison belongs on the net advance. A customer who needs a particular sum in hand needs the loan written for more than that.

Frequently asked

Is the effective cost higher?

At the same nominal rate, yes: the interest is paid up front so the net amount used is lower. Bankacı reads the total cost against the net drawdown too.

What does the customer receive?

The loan amount less the interest collected up front; Bankacı shows the net drawdown separately.

What do the later instalments pay?

With the interest taken at the start, the remaining instalments repay the principal; the schedule shows each one and the balance left.
