    Term

    The framework term is three years.

    The interest rate is based on the Compounded SARON®, is calculated 5 days before the interest date and is valid for the relevant quarter. This means the interest rate is only known at the end of the interest period.

    The interest rate can vary significantly depending on the market situation. This benefit is passed on directly and swiftly in the event of rate cuts. If, however, the Compounded SARON® is negative, this is replaced by 0.00%.

    There is also the option of switching to a PostFinance fixed-rate mortgage at the end of the quarter.

    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 the loan-to-value and financial burden ratios for individual customers have an impact on the amount of interest payable.

  • The interest rate of the Saron mortgage is based on the Compounded SARON® rate in addition to the agreed contractual margin.

    The SARON® is the new Swiss reference interest rate. This is calculated and published on a daily basis by SIX based on the money market transactions made that day. The interest rate of the Saron mortgage is based on the Compounded SARON®. This is determined five calendar days before the end of the quarter based on the individual SARON® daily interest rates over the past three months. As this is only calculated five days before the interest date, the interest rate is still unknown at the beginning of the respective quarter. The contractually agreed individual margin (surcharge on the reference interest rate) is fixed for the full term.
