In some European countries, the annual percentage rates for express loans differ among each other by more than 100 times. Moneyguru24.com, a company specializing in comparisons between express loans have compared the annual percentage rates of 10 European countries.

The express loans are most expensive for the consumers of three countries –UK, Spain and Denmark. In those countries, the average charge for express money amounts to 2353%, 2733%, and 1257%, respectively. Furthermore, some express loan companies in England charge a yearly interest rate of up to 5550% which is an absolute record among the 10 countries.

The group of countries with moderate express loan charges includes Germany (365%), Estonia, (427%), Finland (400%), and Sweden (716%). The overall picture for the 10 countries can be seen here.

The first place in low-cost loan resources belongs to Netherlands where the average market rate on express loans costs customers 122%/year. The average yearly interest rate on sms-loans in Lithuania is a little higher – 173%.
