    Terms for interest rates

    All interest rates apply to first-class residential real estate and borrowers (best creditworthiness). Individual customer interest rates are set according to risk. This means that the loan-to-value and financial burden ratios for individual customers have an impact on the amount of interest payable.

    The interest rates for fixed-rate mortgages can be set up to a maximum of 18 months before payout. An interest surcharge may apply, depending on the notice period.

  • The prices and conditions apply both to initial financing and to the renewal or extension of a mortgage.

    Preconditions

    • Natural persons with a permanent domicile in Switzerland
    • Swiss citizens or foreigners with either a B or C residence permit

    • Loan : max 80% of the property value for owner-occupied properties; max 75% of the property value for holiday properties

    • A fixed-rate mortgage is the right choice for you if you like to budget with a fixed amount and expect interest rates to rise.

      When choosing a suitable term, you should bear in mind that this depends on various factors such as the current interest rates, your financial situation, the expected interest rate performance and your personal aspirations.

    • A fixed-rate mortgage allows you to protect yourself against rising interest rates and to calculate your costs clearly. Unlike the Saron mortgage, which is market-oriented, the interest rate remains fixed over the selected term. This is why a fixed-rate mortgage is particularly worthwhile when interest rates are low and are not expected to drop any more in the near future. If interest rates fall after you have taken out a mortgage, you will not be able to benefit from this with a fixed-rate mortgage.

    • You can read an assessment of the current economic situation and the projected interest rate performance in our consolidated interest rate forecast for mortgages. Please note that your personal interest rate depends on your affordability and loan-to-value ratio, as well as other factors.
