Remember: Actual card and loan conditions depend on the financial institution's approved terms and contract.

Check all fees

Do not stop at the '0% interest' label.

Installments consume future cash flow

Even fee-free installments reduce future flexibility.

Multiple plans can stack up

Small monthly installments can become a large fixed burden.

Compare total paid

Use total price plus fees, not only the monthly installment.
