The lowest energy target of an application requires a mandatory upgrade by at least three (3) energy efficiency categories, in relation to the classification in the First Energy Efficiency Certificate (and mandatorily minimum category B ́in the case of complete renovation), in order to ensure energy savings of more than 30%.

Only one application may be submitted by each natural person.

The loan instalments are debited automatically to your deposit account with NBG, which you have designated for the collection of instalments to be made.

To keep you duly updated, the Bank sends you quarterly statements of account, either by ordinary mail or only electronically, provided that you are a registered user of the Bank's Internet Banking Service and of the i-bank statements Service, with information about your loan, as well as the amount of the next monthly instalments. If for any reason beyond the Bank’s control the statement is not delivered to you, the instalment will nevertheless still be due for collection, as required under the loan contract.
