Banca Sistema (QuiPension) — Cessione del Quinto
Banca Sistema S.p.A.
Banca Sistema, under the QuiPension brand, specialises in pension-backed loans (as well as salary-backed). In the pensioner example (~€20,000/120 months) the nominal rate is 5.21% and the APR 6.32%: one of the lowest rates in the category. The case is useful to understand the weight of insurance: the mandatory policy is worth about €1,348 in the example — the item that pushes APR away from the nominal rate and reduces the net amount actually paid out.
