Why choose Calp for your revolving credit

Four commitments on an often-criticized product

Revolving credit has a bad reputation: high rates, compulsive use, over-indebtedness. Calp offers a sanitized, capped version, supervised by an advisor and usable only on explicit drawdown. No automatic payment, no linked card.

Capped, transparent APR

The APR of Calp revolving credit is capped at 14.9%, well below the legal usury rate (around 21%). It is fixed for each drawdown and frozen for the entire repayment of that drawdown: no variable rate, no revision.

Explicit drawdown only

No automatic drawdown, no linked credit card. Each use of funds must be explicitly requested from your client area, validated by an advisor. This limits impulsive use and allows prior reflection.

Repayment by identified slices

Each drawdown generates a mini amortization schedule with a fixed term and monthly payment, like a classical loan. The sum of payments for each drawdown forms your global monthly debit, readable and predictable.

Usage advice and alerts

Calp sends monthly alerts on use and cumulative cost. Beyond 70% of the reserve consumed, an advisor contacts you to assess the situation and propose, if relevant, a consolidation at lower rate into a personal loan.

Eligibility criteria

Who can apply for a Calp revolving credit?

Typical use cases

What is the Calp revolving credit used for?

Calp revolving credit is designed as a precautionary reserve, not as a primary financing method. Below are the four most relevant uses observed in 2025.

Precautionary reserve for unforeseen

Car breakdown, water leak, urgent medical expense: the reserve is mobilized occasionally and repaid in 3 to 12 months. 42% of drawdowns. Average amount EUR 1,200, average term 6 months.

End-of-month cash flow

Gap between a payment and the salary deposit, exceptional expense (significant gift, school start), advance on expected reimbursement. 28% of drawdowns. Average amount EUR 600, term 3 months.

Short credit purchase at retailers

Appliance, furniture, leisure equipment during a promotion. Calp has no store partnership; you use the drawdown freely. 18% of drawdowns. Average amount EUR 2,200, term 12 months.

Travel or family event gift

Last-minute holidays, birthday gift, relative's wedding: planned use repaid in 6 to 18 months without touching precautionary savings. 12% of drawdowns. Average amount EUR 1,800.

Frequently asked questions

Your questions, our answers.

01

How does replenishment work?

Each repayment replenishes the available reserve. You can draw again without a new application.

02

Is the APR fixed or variable?

Variable in line with the legal usury rate. Cap strictly framed by the regulator. Written notice before any change.

03

What happens if I do not use the reserve?

No interest, no fees. The reserve remains drawable until the contract is terminated.

04

Can I cancel at any time?

Yes, free cancellation by post. Immediate settlement of the drawn portion, or amortisation per schedule.

05

Does Calp revolving credit include a payment card?

No. Unlike most traditional revolving credits, no credit card is associated with the Calp reserve. This avoids impulse purchases and forces every drawdown to be formalized from your client area, after a 24-hour reflection period on amounts above EUR 1,500.

06

What is the cost of an unused revolving credit?

None. Calp charges no opening fee, no annual fee, no reserve availability fee. If you make no drawdown, the revolving credit generates no expense. The reserve can be cancelled at any time, without notice and without fees.

07

How to avoid the revolving credit trap?

By using it as an occasional reserve, never as a recurring complementary income. Limit the total reserve to one month of net income. Repay every drawdown in less than 12 months. If the reserve is used more than 6 consecutive months, it is the sign that a lower-rate personal loan would be more suitable: Calp will spontaneously offer it.
