How does the KunstKoop work?

Stap 1: You decide to buy an artwork at a gallery that cooperates with the KunstKoop and you sign a contract with the gallery.

Step 2: The gallery uploads information on the purchase and you will receive an email from Santander Consumer Finance to file your application for a KunstKooploan. You are asked to fill in an online form and upload the requested documents.

Step 3: Santander decides whether the loan can be approved. If the loan is approved, Santander will pay the total amount of the loan directly to the gallery and you will pay it back in monthly terms.

What are the monthly costs?

– The minimum loan is €250 and maximum loan is € 7.500. If an art work costs more, the remaining amount should be covered by the buyer and be payed directly to the gallery.
– In every case you can decide to pay a part of the total amount directly to the gallery and apply for a KunstKooploan for the other part.
– The minimum duration of the loan is six months, the maximum is three years. The loan can always be repaid earlier with no additional cost.
– After the first montly term of your KunstKooploan is covered, it is possible to file an application for a second KunstKooploan.
