Frequently asked questions

FAQ — Consumer credit in Safi

What is the legal maximum APR in Morocco?

The maximum conventional interest rate (TMIC) is set quarterly by Bank Al-Maghrib. In Q1 2026 it stands at 13.30%. No bank or finance company can exceed this ceiling without sanctions under banking law 103-12.

How much can I borrow under consumer credit?

The cap depends on your income and repayment capacity. Banks generally lend 10-40 times your monthly net salary, capped at MAD 400,000-600,000 depending on the institution. A MAD 8,000/month salary supports roughly MAD 150,000-250,000.

Consumer credit or authorised overdraft?

For a one-off need under 3 months, an authorised overdraft (APR 13-18%) can work. Beyond that, a classic consumer loan is 2-3x cheaper. Never sit in an unauthorised overdraft (charges 22-25% plus fixed fees).

Can I stack several consumer loans?

Yes, within your debt capacity (≤40% of net income). Above that, banks decline. If you already have several loans, consider debt consolidation to simplify and lower the total monthly payment.
