Loan agreement (Estonia)

A loan agreement between two people: one lends money, the other agrees how and when it comes back. Writing it down keeps a friendly loan friendly.

Who signs

  • The lender

What you fill in

  • The repayment schedule — the dates and amounts, or one date for the whole sum
  • How payments are made — the bank account they go to
  • Late payment — what happens if a payment is late
