Rabobank launches GroenHypotheek

Rabobank sounds gong for launch GroenHypotheek

With its GroenHypotheek, Rabobank is the first bank to offer a ‘green mortgage’. For this occasion they visit the Amsterdam exchange. Elze Vonk, Head of Finance and Insurance Retail at Rabobank, sounds the gong.

As of now, buyers of an energy-efficient new-build home with a Green Certificate will be eligible for a Rabo GroenHypotheek. They will benefit from a 0.5% discount on the interest rate for a mortgage loan of up to € 150,000. With the Rabo GroenHypotheek, Rabobank aims to significantly accelerate the process of making housing sustainable.

The Rabo GroenHypotheek is intended for customers who purchase a sustainable new-build home. The property must have a Green Certificate confirming that it qualifies for the Green Projects Scheme. Customers with a Rabo GroenHypotheek receive a 0.5% discount on their mortgage interest for a loan of up to € 150,000. A Rabo GroenHypotheek is an annuity-based mortgage with a term of up to 30 years and a fixed-interest term of 10 years. The interest discount applies during this 10-year fixed-interest period, and will lapse thereafter.
