UrBC, Yekaterinburg, October 17, 2017. SKB-Bank now offers extra options to customers interested in a mortgage: your down payment may only come to 10% now if you use the state-provided maternity fund to cover your payments. Also, there is the Easy Mortgage scheme for customers who are pressed for time in terms of paperwork, the bank’s press service reports.

Additionally, customers based in Yekaterinburg and Sverdlovsk Region can now apply for a mortgage within the Housing Mortgage Finance Agency’s program (interest rate: 6.45% a year; loan period: up to thirty years; down payment: 30% or more).

The bank also offers preferential lending terms for the military, who are entitled to state subsidies. SKB-Bank is the Housing Mortgage Finance Agency’s official partner and can thus have your earlier mortgages refinanced on better terms: interest rates start from 9% a year, depending on the mortgage amount/an apartment’s worth ratio.

Now that SKB-Bank signed an agreement with the Housing Mortgage Finance Agency last month, the agency’s mortgage at as little as 9% a year are available at the bank’s Mortgage Center.
