Interpreter Notes

Interpreters should be aware that 'cargo por inicio del proceso de préstamo' may not be commonly used in all Spanish-speaking regions, and some clients might refer to it simply as 'cargo de originación'. It is important to maintain a formal register and clarify the fee's purpose to avoid confusion with other loan-related terms.
