Measures of Royal Decree Law 6/2024

Measures to mitigate the effects of the DANA storm that occurred between October 28 and November 4, and the impact on the ability of households, businesses and the self-employed to meet their payment obligations arising from the financing they had contracted with credit institutions and commercial credit institutions, by creating the possibility of requesting moratoriums on such financing. These measures are in addition to those that may be established by the Regional Government of Valencia (Generalitat Valenciana).

What financing does the law apply to?
Financing with and without mortgage guarantee contracted by households, companies and self-employed people before November 6, even if they are in arrears with payments.
Who can apply?
  • Mortgage Financing: individuals, self-employed persons and companies (in both cases with a turnover in 2023 < €6 million) , whose mortgage guarantee is a property located in the municipalities concerned, listed in the Annex to Royal Decree-Law 6/2024.
  • Financing without Mortgage Guarantee: private individuals residing in the municipalities concerned, as well as self-employed persons and companies (in both cases with a turnover in 2023 < €6 million) , whose main economic activity is located in the municipalities concerned, in both cases listed in the Annex to Royal Decree-Law 6/2024.
How will the moratorium work?

During the first 3 months after the moratorium is granted, there will be a complete grace period (neither principal nor interest will be paid), and during the following 9 months only interest will be paid.

The financing will extend its final maturity by this period.

How do I make a request?

You can apply at any BBVA branch or contact your usual BBVA adviser, who will tell you how to proceed, the required documentation to submit and help you clarify any doubts you may have.

You can also contact your branch at its email address, which you can find in the branch locator. If you send an e-mail to your branch, please include MORATORIA DANA + your full ID number in the subject line. A BBVA adviser will contact you as soon as possible.

What documentation do I need to provide?

You must complete and sign the Application Form which will be given to you by the BBVA branch or your usual adviser.

In this case, depending on the financing guarantee and the applicant's activity, there will be an application for mortgage financing, both for homes and for companies and the self-employed, an application for financing without a mortgage guarantee for homes and an application for financing without a mortgage guarantee for companies and the self-employed.

In the case of financing with more than one holder, the application only needs to be submitted and signed by one of them.

In the case of mortgage financing for main residences, the Code of Good Practices Information Document must be signed and provided by the BBVA branch or your usual adviser.

The following must be submitted along with the application:

  • Households: census registration certificate or other document proving the applicant's residence in these municipalities, or the same application containing a declaration to that effect.
  • Self-employed persons or legal entities (both with invoicing in 2023 <,€6 million ): document proving that their main activity is located in the municipality concerned, or the same application containing a declaration to that effect.
You can apply up to and including February 7, 2025. Once we have received your application and checked the required documents, we will reply to you within a maximum of 15 days.

These actions are set forth in the following legislation:
