Applying for a home loan – how to proceed

You can apply for a home conveniently online. Submitting an application to us doesn’t commit you to take out a loan. If you’re not a Nordea customer yet, you can apply just as easily using the online banking codes of other banks in Finland.

1. Loan application

Arrows icon - 640x360

Fill in a home loan application online. You can complete the application in one go if you have online banking codes from a bank operating in Finland. You should fill in the application carefully.

However, submitting an application doesn’t commit you to taking out a home loan from us.

2. Loan negotiation

After you have submitted your application, we will contact you to set up a meeting with you concerning your home loan. 

After this meeting, we will provide you with a preliminary home loan offer.

3. Found a new home?

Once you’ve found a new home, you should get in touch with us.

With a preliminary loan offer, you can make a conditional offer on the home. But we can also potentially give you a loan promise right after a loan negotiation.

How to speed up the handling process of your home loan application if you’re a customer of another bank


If you’re not a Nordea customer, we need to have your salary certificate from the past three months. If you’re applying for a loan together with your spouse, for example, we need to have salary certificates, account transactions and details on existing loans from both applicants. You can get the salary certificate from your employer.

After you have submitted your home loan application, you can send us your salary certificates and other documents by logging in to Nordea Omaposti with your bank’s online banking codes. In OmaPosti, choose ‘Loans and credit’ as the topic of the message and write ‘Home loan application/salary certificate’ in the message field. Add documents from your computer as attachments to the message.

Interest and fees on a home loan

The biggest expenses in a home loan consist of the loan margin you have negotiated and the reference rate chosen, such as the 12-month Euribor. However, a home loan often includes other smaller expenses, including an initial opening fee or repayment fees. The total of all these costs is expressed through the annual percentage rate of charge (APR). 

Example of a home loan and the annual percentage rate of charge

Example calculation: You take out a loan of 155,000 euros. The loan period is 24 years and the interest rate is 4.50% (October 2023). The APR is 4.7%, including an opening fee of 620 euros and a monthly fee of 2.50 euros for the automatic debiting of loan payments. The number of payments is 288. The total amount of the loan and loan costs is 256,796 euros. The monthly payment (annuity) is 887 euros. 

The amount of the loan, the loan period and the interest are a representative example for the home loans offered by Nordea. Please note that the example calculation above is indicative and does not necessarily correspond to the actual annual percentage rate of charge on the loan to be granted to you. You can check the fees and prices of our home loans from our tariff below.

Foreign currency credit

Consumers are not granted loans in any other currency than euro.

A housing loan is considered to be currency credit if the loan is granted in a foreign currency other than that of the EU Members State or the state of belonging to the European Economic Area where the consumer resides. Furthermore, a housing loan is considered to be foreign currency credit if the consumer receives his or her income in another currency of a state of the European Economic Area or in currency of a state of European Economic Area. 

A foreign exchange risk occurs when the borrower's income or assets to be used to repay the credit are not in the same currency as the credit or the credit is not in the currency of borrower's country of residence. A foreign exchange risk refers to the change in price of one currency in relation to another. During the loan period, the value of the credit or the monthly payment may increase in relation to the borrower's income or assets or the currency of the borrower's country of residence. 

If the foreign currency of the borrower's country of residence, income or assets falls by 20 per cent in relation to the euro, the borrower receives a warning that the borrower's loan amount will increase in borrower's national currency.
