si bien

Law: Contract(s)
Sorry for reposting the question (I put in as a Spanish-Spanish question), but I got only general answers and I need the translations in this particular context.
Does "si bien" mean "even if" or "only if" in the following sentence:
Las PARTES pactan que el PRÉSTAMO devengará un tipo de interés anual del Euribor a doce meses más 1,60%, SI BIEN todas las cantidades así devengadas se abonarán en un solo pago a la finalización del período contractual.
Does that mean that the Borrower has to pay the interests EVEN IF all the sums calculated in the given manner (principal + interests Euribor + 1,60%) will be paid off once on the day the contract is completed?
Or does that mean that the Borrowe has to pay the interest ONLY IF he fails to pay the agreed sums on on the day the contract is completed? In the first case it would mean that the interets are acrrued from the day the money is borrower. In the saceond case - from the repayment due date.
Thank you for your help.

Discussion
So the Borrower borrows money (prinicpal). He also agrees to pay interests. From what moment are they accrued? From the momeny he borrows money (and he has to pay them together with the principal when the contrac ends) ?Or from the day on which he should repay the loan but fails to do so (as a penalty for not repayment the loan in due time?
If I translate "si bien" as "even though" would that mean that the Borrower has to pay interest even in a situation when he pays all the monies owned on termination of the contract?
