When you compare loan offers, don’t just look at the margin – consider the services and benefits a bank offers as a whole.
Margin is always personal
When you’re considering comparing home loan offers, you may be tempted to ask from your family and friends about the margins they have been offered by banks. Remember, however, that the margin always depends on the borrower’s particular circumstances, so you should ask banks for an estimate of the margin that you qualify for.
Different banks may have different criteria for establishing the margin. We put the most focus on your ability to repay the loan, which depends on your income, spending and savings. Your loan margin is also influenced by the other banking services you opt for with us and the collateral you provide for the loan.

Loyalty benefits may help you save on costs
When you’re comparing loan offers from different banks, you should also look at the other prices and benefits a bank offers. For example, how much do cards, other loans or investment services cost?
If you have a home loan from us, you can save up to hundreds of euros every year. As our home loan customer, you get our daily banking services free of charge when you have an account and a payment card with us and use our Nordea Mobile app. You are also entitled to get free investment advice and FlexiCredit at a lower margin. You can use FlexiCredit to make home improvements or other purchases, for example.

Flexible loan features are also important
When you’re comparing loan offers, you should also pay attention to the features a bank’s home loan includes. Consider features such as the repayment options available and ways to adjust your loan during the loan period.
Our home loans come with many flexible features. First, you can choose a loan period that best suits you – it can be up to 30 years. If you want to change the loan period or take a payment holiday, you can easily apply for changes in Nordea Mobile or Netbank.
In addition, our home loans include the unique FlexiPayment feature, which allows you to adjust your monthly loan payment in Nordea Mobile or Netbank. You can decrease or increase your monthly payment when you need to – without asking us first. Using FlexiPayment doesn’t cost you anything.
