Interactive assistant
What is a loan with collateral, and what is it for?

A loan using your property as collateral is a loan for anyone who already owns property — an apartment or house. The property is used as the guarantee for the loan.

A loan with collateral allows you to obtain money for home renovations, buying a car or starting a business.

How do I apply for and receive a mortgage?

To apply for a mortgage, you must submit a loan application. This can be done on our website under Loans and Leasing > Mortgage loan, or in person at a Citadele branch.

What are the steps towards receiving a mortgage?

  1. The customer fills in the application.
  2. The bank prepares a provisional offer.
  3. The customer submits the additional documents we ask for (for example, a property valuation — the list of our approved property appraisers is on our website).
  4. The bank confirms its decision on issuing a loan and any ALTUM guarantee.
  5. The customer signs a loan agreement and other documents at the bank.
  6. The customer signs the necessary documents with a notary and submits them to the land registry.
  7. After the mortgage is registered in the land registry and all necessary documents have been submitted to the bank, the loan is issued.

When should I add a co-borrower?

What is an Annual Percentage Rate (APR)?

The annual percentage rate (APR) is the total cost of a loan expressed as an annual percentage of the total loan amount. It is used so that consumers can compare loan offers from different credit institutions.

The total cost includes the interest charged for use of the loan; one-time fees like application fees, account-opening fees and service fees (if applicable); ALTUM guarantee fees (if the transaction includes an ALTUM guarantee); state and institution fees for registering a mortgage; and regular expenses such as insuring the collateral (property) and other known or assumed expenses.

APR is calculated in accordance with the formula and terms set out in Cabinet Regulation No. 691, Regulations Regarding Consumer Credit, adopted 25.10.2016, to determine the current value or total cost of all existing or future obligations (amount of loan issued, fees and expenses) to which the lender and consumer have agreed. When calculating APR, it is assumed that the loan agreement is in force from the day it is signed to the day of the final payment; the loan is paid out in a single payment on the day the agreement is signed; the interest rate in force on the day the agreement is signed remains in force for the entire term of the agreement; and the consumer fulfils their obligations in the manner and time limits set out in the agreement.

APR is calculated on behalf of the borrower, who is seen as the consumer in the eyes of applicable legislation. It is for the consumer’s information only, and is not recalculated over the course of the loan agreement’s term, including in cases when the figures, fees and interest rates therein change.

What is a mortgage loan and what is it for?

What is the total loan amount to be paid by the customer comprised of?

The total sum includes the loan plus the total fees associated with the loan (all fees including interest, commission fees, taxes and other known fees linked with the loan agreement, such as a collateral valuation, collateral-property insurance and others). The total amount to be paid by the customer (consumer) is calculated on the day the agreement is signed, in accordance with Cabinet Regulation No. 691, Regulations Regarding Consumer Credit, adopted 25.10.2016.

1 Example: if you take out a 30-year loan secured by a real estate mortgage for 80 000 EUR with an interest rate per year of 1.69% + 6-month EURIBOR (for the purposes of this calculation, we have used the 6-month EURIBOR rate as of 25.10.2024., which is 2.894%), then your monthly payment is 409.35 EUR (for a total of 360 payments). APR 5,03%. The total amount to be paid by the customer (including repaying the loan, interest payments, a 800.00 EUR commission fee for processing the loan, a government fee of 0.1% of the mortgage sum for registering the loan in the land registry, and the annual insurance premium for the mortgaged property (assuming that it is 100 EUR starting from the second year after signing the loan agreement)) is 152 070.37 EUR. Borrow responsibly, and consider your ability to repay the loan.

2 Presuming the loan interest rate is 7.9% per year, the total loan amount is 5000 EUR, the loan agreement is for 48 months, the commission fee is 100 EUR, and the Annual Percentage Rate (APR) is 9.44%, the total amount the customer would have to repay is 5960.32 EUR, and the monthly repayment amount is 122.09 EUR. Example for a credit card: Annual Percentage Rate (APR) 14.76%, assuming that the credit limit is 1500 EUR and the interest rate is 9.9%.
