DNB lowers the interest rate on home mortgages
DNB has today decided to reduce the home mortgage interest rate by up to
0,4 percentage points.
-The price of money has fallen over the past weeks, as a result of market
developments and the uncertainty around the Norwegian economy. As Norway's
largest bank, we must be a safe and predictable partner for our customers and
offer competitive prices. We are therefore lowering the interest rate for home
mortgages by up to 0,4 percentage points for new and existing customers, says
Ingjerd Blekeli Spiten, head of Personal Banking in DNB.
-DNB is one of the most solid banks in Europe, and we play an important role in
society by helping to keep the wheels of the Norwegian economy turning. Over the
last eight weeks we've helped thousands of customers with everything from
interest-only periods to bridging loans, and we'll continue to do so. The bank
is still open like before, and the corona situation has not made it more
difficult for Norwegian consumers to get a loan in DNB, she continues.
The interest rate change for existing home mortgages comes into effect from 25
May. Our new rates will apply to new mortgages from 11 May. All customers whose
interest rates are adjusted will be given information in the Internet bank or
receive a letter by regular mail, explaining how their mortgage is affected.
