Questions and answers

The Saron mortgage is the right choice if you are willing and able to take the risk of interest rate fluctuations.

The Saron mortgage is market-oriented. The interest rate is adjusted accordingly if the reference interest rate (also known as the basic interest rate) rises or falls. This can be both an advantage and a disadvantage for you as a customer.

With PostFinance, you have the option of converting your Saron mortgage into a fixed-rate mortgage at the end of the quarter. This means you can benefit from lower interest rates if interest rates are lower, or you can protect yourself against rising costs by switching to a fixed-rate mortgage if interest rates rise, so you can remain flexible throughout the Saron mortgage term.

PostFinance works with the following cooperation partners to provide financing services:

CredEx AG, Zurich
Münchener Hypothekenbank eG, Munich
Valiant Bank AG, Bern

You can amortize your Saron mortgage directly (the capital amount of the mortgage is reduced) or indirectly (the capital amount of the mortgage remains unchanged) via your retirement savings account 3a and your PostFinance retirement funds or your life insurance policies.

The interest rate is made up of two parts:

Compounded SARON: an average interest rate calculated from the daily SARON values over the respective interest period (usually three months).
Individual margin: a constant surcharge from the bank that remains the same throughout the term.
