    How do ICO loans work?

    • The way that an ICO loan works is not very different from the way that a ‘traditional’ bank loan does. The difference, however, is that an ICO loan involves three parties: 

      • The Instituto de Crédito Oficial, which provides backing for the financing and its terms.
      • The credit institution, which analyzes the feasibility of the loan, manages the money being lent, and assumes the risk of any failure to repay by the customer
      • The application, who is required to repay it over the stipulated time period, along with the agreed-upon interest.
