The interest rate applied to your Discounted Mortgage may vary depending on the products taken out. If you cancel the direct deposit for your salary, an additional margin of 0.30% is added to the discounted annual nominal interest rate; if you do not renew Home Insurance sold through Open Bank, S.., Linked Bancassurance Operator, or you have outstanding payments due on your policy, 0.10% is added; if you do not renew Life Insurance sold in conjunction with the mortgage through Open Bank, S.A., Linked Bancassurance Operator, or outstanding payments are due, 0.10% is added; and if none of the products entitling you to a reduction on your mortgage payments are in force, 0.50% will be added to the discounted nominal interest rate. You may or may not meet the conditions throughout your mortgage term. We will adapt the interest rate to your choices at all times.
What is the difference between meeting or failing to meet discount conditions?
Meeting the discount conditions reduces your interest rate, allowing you to save on your monthly repayments, by setting up a direct deposit for your salary or pension, and insuring your new home with the Zurich Insurance PLC3 Home Insurance sold through Openbank, taking out the Zurich Life Insurance4 sold through Openbank.
Not meeting discount conditions means: not setting up a direct deposit for your salary, or taking out any insurance, although you will not be eligible for a reduced interest rate.
And if I already have a mortgage, how can I switch it to Openbank?
The first step is to provide the necessary documentation. Your personal mortgage advisor will get in touch to let you know which documents are required to switch your mortgage to Openbank.
If you then also meet the discount conditions: set up a direct deposit for your salary and take out Home Insurance and Life Insurance through Openbank, you will receive an additional discount of 0.50% on your mortgage interest rate. Openbank does not cover any applicable cancellation fees charged by your existing bank, although you can always finance the amount you need to cover them through Openbank.
For mortgages that are at least 1 year old and minimum monthly income of €1,500 (1 holder) and €2,000 (2 holders).
Can I cancel or switch my mortgage to another bank?
Subrogation consists of switching your mortgage from one bank to another. You can change certain aspects of the loan, including the interest or term. The amount and interest rate cannot be changed, i.e., if your mortgage is fixed, mixed or variable.
In terms of cancellation, you can change any aspect of the loan, including the amount and interest rate. In this case, you would incur several costs including notary, administrative and registration fees.
You can switch your mortgage to Openbank by cancellation and save money each month. The process is simple, quick, online, and you will be accompanied by a personal mortgage advisor throughout the entire process.
Is Openbank adhered to the Code of Good Practice?
OPENBANK is adhered to the Code of Good Practice for Mortgage Debtors, which is effective for 36 months and aims to implement urgent measures for vulnerable mortgage debtors who have debt in real estate loans or loans on their primary residence.
The duration of the Code will be extended to 42 months for individuals residing in any of the areas affected by the damage caused by the cut-off low (known in Spain as the DANA – Depresión Aislada en Niveles Altos).
The Code of Good Practice applies to customers who have taken out a mortgage on their main residence with OPENBANK prior to 31 December 2022 and whose purchase price does not exceed €300,000. Eligible customers are those at risk of vulnerability and must meet a number of criteria set out in the Royal Decree.
a) The mortgage debtor may apply for any or all of the following measures:
1. Extend the total term of their loan up to a maximum of 7 years.
2. Fix the instalment at its amount on 1 June 2022 or at the amount of the first instalment for loans in which it is charged after that date, for a period of 12 months from the time the novation takes place through a total or partial grace period on the principal, unless the total grace period on the principal is not sufficient to fix the instalment at that amount, in which case only a total grace period on the principal will be applied.
In any event, the outstanding principal will accrue interest at an interest rate that represents a 0.5% reduction in the current net value of the loan in accordance with current legislation, and the extension of the term will not reduce the amount of the instalment below the amount that was being paid on 1 June 2022.
b) Convert the interest rate calculation formula for the initial loan from a variable rate formula that is periodically repayable to a fixed rate.
It is also adhered to the Code of Good Practices established by Royal Decree Law 6/2012, of 9 March, on urgent measures for the protection of mortgage debtors without resources.
Customers who, having signed a mortgage on their primary residence with OPENBANK, are located in the so-called exclusion threshold, can apply. You can find out who is considered to be in the exclusion threshold, what documentation must be provided to prove that they are in this situation and the Code of Good Practices with the measures themselves at Open Mortgage or under the FAQ “How can I benefit from the measures of the Code of Good Practice?”.

1 Interest rates subject to the following discount conditions: (i) Primary home: a salary, pension or any other type of periodic state benefit must be paid directly into Openbank. Second home and/or self-employed: a salary, pension or any other type of periodic state benefit received by transfer must be set up with Openbank, or a deposit must be made from another bank into Openbank each month. For a single holder, the amount of any of the above items, both for a primary home and for a second home and/or self-employed, must be equal to or greater than €900 per month. If there are two or more holders, the minimum amount is €1,800 per month (ii) the property/properties subject to the mortgage must be insured with the Home Insurance marketed by Openbank, S.A., Linked Bancassurance Operator. (iii) The mortgage holder(s) must be covered by the life insurance sold with their mortgage through Open Bank, S.A. Linked Bancassurance Operator. This life insurance policy must be current, arranged by direct deposit through an Openbank account held by the mortgage holders, and must insure 100% of the capital financed by one or between all of the holders.
When you do not meet any of the above discount conditions, the applicable interest rate will vary: 0.30% will be added to the discounted annual nominal interest if you do not meet discount condition (i); 0.10% will be added if you do not meet discount condition (ii); 0.10% will be added if you do not meet discount condition (iii); and 0.50% will be added if you do not meet any of the above discount conditions.
2 The APR has been calculated for a representative example of a total mortgage loan of €150,000 over 15, 20, 25 and 30 years, to be repaid in 180, 240, 300 and 360 monthly payments, respectively, and under the assumption that the mortgage agreement shall be in effect for the agreed period of time and that Openbank and the applicant will fulfil their obligations under the conditions stipulated in the contract. Furthermore, the following has been considered for the calculation, to meet the discount conditions: (i) home insurance marketed by Openbank S.A, the Linked Bancassurance Operator, based on an estimated premium of €202.07 euros on a 100 m2 property located in Madrid, with a total value of €92,400 euros and a contents value of €23,100 euros (the premium for the first year was taken as a reference. Insurance premiums corresponding to the following annuities will be updated on an annual basis, as set forth in the individual terms of the applicable policy); (ii) life insurance sold through Open Bank, S.A., Linked Bancassurance Operator, for a 36-year-old holder, who has insured 100% of the loan amount, with an estimated annual premium of €250 (taking the first year premium as the benchmark. The insurance premiums will be updated annually in following years. This amount will vary depending on the age of the customer, the outstanding capital and the related coverage and services). - Home and life insurance are optional, but taking out these policies gives you more beneficial conditions.
The Variable APR indicated includes the valuation amount. The estimated charges for this item are €314.60 (including VAT, and any applicable IGIC - Impuesto General Indirecto Canario [General Indirect Tax in the Canary Islands] or IPSI - Impuesto sobre la Producción, los Servicios y la Importación [Tax on Production, Services and Imports in Ceuta and Melilla]).
The calculation of the APR and Variable APR without meeting discount conditions includes compulsory property damage insurance: €202.07/year. Openbank does not sell property damage insurance, so the amount indicated here is for guidance purposes only and has taken into account the premium resulting from calculating home insurance sold by Openbank (with greater cover than damage insurance) on a home located in Madrid of 100 m2, with a building value of €92,400 and a contents value of €23,100. This amount is an initial estimate that may vary depending on the cover and associated services that are actually taken out; therefore, the amount set out in your policy at the time it is taken out will apply. Likewise, you must bear in mind that the amount indicated in this section is an estimate for the first year's premium. Openbank cannot determine the premium for the remaining years, as it will vary according to the policy taken out and the technical conditions of the insurance company, without implying any link to Openbank.
This shall be a fixed-interest rate loan for the entire term of the loan for a 1st or 2nd house purchase. The interest rate will vary based on the term and amount of the mortgage. The total payable amount indicated in the representative examples includes: capital, interest and home and life insurance premiums, the latter in order to meet discount conditions. The total cost indicated in the representative examples includes all expenses, including interest, fees, taxes, and any other type of expenses that you have to pay in relation to the loan contract and that are known to OPENBANK.

Interest rates offered for mortgage loans intended for house purchases.
French repayment system, whereby the loan principal and interest are repaid through regular scheduled monthly instalments, i.e. of the same amount, provided that the interest rate applicable during the settlement period does not change and no early repayments are made. Since interest accrues on the outstanding principal amount, as time passes the amount of the instalment used to repay the principal increases, while the interest payment portion will decrease, as the outstanding principal is reduced.
The following mathematical formula is used to determine the amount of each monthly payment:
P= (i x c) x (1-(1+i)-n)-1, where "p" is the monhtly payment, "i" the annual nominal interest rate divided by 12, "c" the outstanding principal of the mortgage loan and “n” the number of outstanding months of the repayment period.
We use this formula to calculate interest on outstanding capital: I= (i x c), where "I" is the interest, "i" is the annual nominal interest rate divided by 12 and "c" is the outstanding principal of the mortgage loan.
The amount repaid by customers is the monthly payment minus interest.

5 Pre-approval will be issued on the presumption of the accuracy of the information provided to date and will be subject to the subsequent performance of a comprehensive risk analysis by the Openbank risk department, once the necessary information and supporting documentation has been obtained. Accordingly, pre-approval is of an indicative nature and does not in any event constitute a Binding Offer nor a confirmation of granting the mortgage loan. Accordingly, Openbank shall not be liable for the final rejection of the mortgage loan or the terms of a subsequent Binding Offer other than those described depending on market conditions or having obtained additional information about their preferences and financial conditions; therefore, the applicant or any other recipient must take all necessary precautions before using the data contained in the pre-approval letter, which they use at their own risk.
6 The financial loss suffered by OPENBANK, if any, shall be calculated, in proportion with the reimbursed capital, by a negative difference between the outstanding capital at the time of the early redemption and the present market value of the loan.
The present market value will be calculated as the sum of the current value of the outstanding fees up to the next interest rate review and the current value of the outstanding capital at the time of the review had it not been cancelled early. The update interest rate will be the market rate that applies to the remaining time period until the next review. The applicable index for calculating market value will be the Interest Rate Swap (IRS) at 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 10, 15, 20, and 30 year periods that will be published by the Bank of Spain and which a spread will be added. This spread will be fixed as the existing difference, at the time the transaction is signed, between the transaction interest rate and the IRS at the next closest installment to that time, until the next interest rate review date or until its maturity date.
The reference interest rate of the above that is closest to the outstanding period of the loan term from the early termination until the next interest rate review date or until its maturity date shall be applied.
The amount will be paid to Openbank when the reimbursement is formalised.
If you decide to pay the loan off early, please contact us in order to determine the exact level of compensation at that time.
