DemirBank has introduced a groundbreaking online loan feature in Kyrgyzstan, empowering customers to personally select their preferred interest rates. This innovative promotion, titled "Choose Your Own Interest Rate," allows users to set their desired rate within the mobile application.

Customers can choose a rate anywhere from 0% to 19.99%, with increments of 0.5%. Until 6:00 PM daily, users can adjust their selected rate. All applications submitted within the promotion period are automatically considered for review by the bank each day, processed in descending order of the chosen interest rate until the daily loan disbursement limit of 2 million Kyrgyz soms is reached.

Successful applicants whose chosen rates are approved will receive a push notification and have 24 hours to finalize the loan. If a customer's chosen rate falls outside the daily limit, the bank may offer the loan at a rate one percentage point lower than the standard rate. This initiative, running until October 31st, 2026, aims to enhance customer choice and convenience in online lending.

Choose Your Own Interest Rate is a new format for online loan applications in Kyrgyzstan, expanding choice and making interaction with the App even more convenient.
