MOITE PARI Launches Detailed Catalogue for Business Loans Offers
Business entrepreneurs can find detailed information about
potential financial sources for launching or growing a business in Bulgaria
About the service value
On 26 April 2007, MOITE PARI - the Bulgarian Financial Guide launched the first
detailed online catalogue for business loan offers in Bulgaria.
It is made especially to assist entrepreneurs who have developed a business plan
and seek to raise start-up capital or those who already run a business and need
additional funding. However, the recent expansion in the number of financing alternatives
can overwhelm and confuse many entrepreneurs.
Because of this reason MOITE PARI initiated a detailed online business loan catalogue
that enables consumers to find all available market information about business loans.
Also, every visitor can apply for a certain product directly from the site. The
professional credit brokers from Creditland will consult applicants free of charge
on personal financing issues and then fill correctly the required papers, and represent
his/her application to the bank.
About the catalogue
The catalogue includes business loans offers that serve different needs - financing
of working capital and investment needs or a combination of both. It is of equal
use for Small and Medium-sized Enterprises (SME), agricultural producers and free
lance professionals. The catalogue provides detailed information about business
loans for export financing and loans that are granted by energy efficiency programs
and the program of the Guarantee Fund for Micro – Financing.

Find the most favorable home loan with the assistance of the financial website MOITE
PARI
The renovated version of www.moitepari.bg is provided with
new product comparison as well as considerably improved functionality
About New Home Loans Comparison
MOITE PARI--the Bulgarian Financial Guide--has launched a full comparison of over
400 home loans offers. The Annual Percentage Rate (APR), calculated dynamically
for each unique search, represents the loan’s complete cost, including the announced
interest rate and all additional fees and insurance premiums (Life Insurance and
Property Insurance). Home loans APR comparison, unlike that of other financial products,
is not regulated by the Law of Consumer Loans that came into force in Bulgaria in
June 2006. However, it is expected that soon the law will be altered to include
home loans.
Since 2002, EU member states have practiced a “Voluntary Ethics Code.” Over 2,500
European banks and financial institutions have signed it. The Code obliges banks
to publicly announce the APR on loans as well as several other conditions such as
the type of interest rate, all possible fees, etc. A special Home Loans Directive
based on a recent Green Paper on Mortgage Regulation is forthcoming with a White
Book anticipated for 2007. These measures will be the last steps towards the Directive
ratification in 2008.
Regardless of legislation MOITE PARI will provide a full APR comparison of home
loans in order to empower consumers to make well-informed decisions about their
personal finances.
About the new version of the website
The renovated version of www.moitepari.bg boasts considerably improved
functionality that enables visitors to search for and easily find necessary information
for financial products. The new version is organized to lead the consumer more quickly
to his/her desired page on the website.
The following functions optimize the time that visitors spend in searching:
• All news and advices are classified by product subjects for easier navigation;
• A new option is added for choosing and comparing up to three offers. The information
can be accessed and compared via dynamic and personalized searches;
• Consumers can now apply for a certain product from the “Search” screen
• A financial news section added to inform consumers about financial institutions
current news. These will be published immediately after their official public announcement.
• The web site now has improved screen resolution that provides a considerably better
visibility and the opportunity for showing more information on the screen at the
same time.
“With the development of our newest product--comparison of home loans, we have made
one more step towards closing the cycle of financial products comparisons. Also,
we plan to direct our attention to some products outside of the financial sphere.
Our final aim is to cover the majority of comparable services”- said Kamen Kanev-
an executive director of MOITE PARI. “Our ambitions are to become the leading provider
and analyzer of information about consumers’ personal finances throughout the South-Eastern
region. The variety of financial products conditions on the one side, and consumers’
lack of time to study the different offers on the other – are the basis of the services
we offer.”

NEW–FinZoom Compare all Romanian Credit Cards
Launch Brings Smartest and Most Comprehensive Search of
Credit Cards to Romanian Web
FinZoom Romania (www.FinZoom.ro)
today launched full comparison of all credit cards in Romania, its newest financial
product comparison since launching the website last fall with full comparison of
consumer loans, mortgage loans, and auto loans/leasing. The new section offers
comprehensive, accurate and up-to-date information about all credit cards currently
available on the Romanian market (over 75 products, 93 parameters, 18 banks, 9 non-banking
institutions).
FinZoom’s online comparison of credit cards is the smartest, most targeted online
search yet, designed to assist consumers in choosing the best card for their needs
in the shortest amount of time. The dynamic search boasts the following features:
Filtering options for card provider (co-branded, bank, non-bank),
card type (standard, premium), currency, usage type (national,
international), usage area (online, offline) and brand (Visa,
Master Card, American Express)
Pre-defined results sorting by
- APR for purchases,
- APR for cash withdrawal,
- Repayment grace period,
- Annual fee and
- Minimum monthly payment
As with its comparison of other loan products, FinZoom extends
its expertise in APR calculation to credit card products. In estimating APRs
for each card, our advanced software engine factors in all grace periods and promotions
and assumes that the card holder will make minimum monthly payments each month after
initially drawing the card’s full credit limit. Applying these usage assumptions
to all products guarantees a truly objective, apples-to-apples product comparison,
rather than comparing APR estimates provided by banks. .
