Banking services in Bulgaria are among the most accessible in the EU, according to an analysis by the Association of Banks in Bulgaria. According to it, banks in Bulgaria offer the lowest interest rates in Europe on newly granted loans to households for the purchase of a home in national currency. According to ECB data, as of March 2025, the average interest rate in Bulgaria in national currency is 2.46%, compared to 2.94% for Croatia, 2.99% for Slovenia and 6.82% for Hungary, BTA reports.
