If the borrower fails to pay an instalment on time, he shall be in arrears without a reminder.

In such a case, Migros Bank may require the borrower to provide collateral in kind or in the form of securities in the same amount as would have been due in the event of immediate termination of the contract.
In the event of late payment, the borrower shall owe interest on arrears in the amount of the interest according to No. 2 of the private credit agreement at the most, plus proven cash and legal costs. In addition, an administration fee of CHF 10.00 for the first reminder and CHF
20.00 for the second and subsequent reminders. Migros Bank shall be free to charge costs in connection with default interest and reminder fees either during the term of the contract or upon termination of the contract.
