“IQ energy program generated much interest on part of the customers of our bank. In just two months, we granted almost mUAH 2 loans. And this is just the beginning! We are happy that the Ukrainians realize the necessity of installing energy efficient equipment and modernizing their dwellings. We invite everyone to purchase energy efficient equipment and receive compensation from the EBRD”, - Galyna Zhukova, Member of Board in charge of the retail, network and digital, comments.

“At present, paying for goods by credit card is the quickest way to participate in the IQ energy program. This financial product is especially convenient during active construction or modernizing of a dwelling as a customer may use a loan, repay it and use it again, and each time receive IQ energy compensation (35% of the loan/investment amount). At that, the maximum amount of compensation is EUR 3 000 for one individual during the whole program validity period”, - Oksana Bulhakova, IQ energy Program Manager, highlights.
