Febelfin, the Belgian banking federation, has announced that individuals and businesses which requested and obtained a payment deferral on their mortgage or business loan until 31 October 2020 at the latest may benefit from a further deferral until the end of that year.
To obtain a (new) deferral, borrowers must continue to meet all the conditions at the time the extension is requested. They must be able to show that they are still financially affected by the consequences of the coronavirus crisis, thereby justifying a deferral of their credits.
Borrowers who had not yet requested a deferral remained eligible, provided their request was approved by 30 September. For an extension of the deferral, the request had to be made before 20 September.
On the initial conditions of the deferrals, see our detailed article on this site. We also recall the Belgian State guarantee scheme on new credits.
