Discover how to improve the cost of your mortgage with our discounts:
Obtain a 0.80% discount on the initial fixed rate when you take out or sign up for the following products and services. This is optional, but it can help you pay less for your mortgage:
- Set up a direct deposit for your salary:
- If your mortgage is for a main residence, you must set up a direct deposit for your salary, pension or any other type of social benefit greater than or equal to €900 when there is one holder, and greater than or equal to €1,800 in the case of two holders.
- If the mortgage is for a second home or you are self-employed, you must set up a direct deposit for your salary, pension or any other benefit paid by bank transfer, or set up a recurring monthly deposit from an account at another bank to your Openbank account. For a single holder, the value of this transfer must be greater than or equal to €900 per month. If there are two or more holders, the minimum amount is €1,800 per month.
In this case, 30% discount will be applied to the non-reduced interest rate:

- Make subscriptions, contribute to or make external transfers to Investment Funds or Pension Plans marketed through Openbank for a net annual amount of at least €600, or accumulate contributions totalling a net amount of at least €600 for each current year of the mortgage, to receive a 0.10% discount on the non-reduced mortgage interest rate.

How is the application process?
It's quick and simple. You can apply on the website by filling out your information and uploading documents, etc. You'll also be assisted by a personal advisor throughout the whole process, making sure everything runs smoothly.
How long does it take to sign for a mortgage?
It can vary: from 25 days and upwards. It particularly depends on when the personal documentation and paperwork for the property are submitted.
The mortgage process is completed in 3 stages:
- Personal documentation: in general, you will be asked to provide proof of income, employment history report and personal income tax return.
- Property documentation: the land registry report and valuation (appraisal). The valuation may be arranged by the customer or requested through the bank.
- Signing the mortgage: by law, 2 visits must be made to the notary's office. Plus, a minimum period of 11 days is required from the date on which your mortgage is approved until you sign at the notary's office.
How many holders can the mortgage have?
Up to two holders per mortgage.
What is the minimum and maximum amount you can apply for?
The maximum amount depends on three factors:
- Percentage of financing: it is possible to apply for up to 80% of financing for a primary home and 70% of a second residence. This percentage will be applied to the lowest of the following two amounts: the valuation price or purchase price.
- Ability to meet payments: the monthly mortgage payment plus other expenses must not exceed 40% of your monthly net income.
- Mortgage term, which will also determine the monthly mortage payment. The age of the youngest of the applicants plus the mortgage term cannot exceed 80 years.
This information is general and, of course, exceptions always apply.
The purpose of these three criteria is to ensure you can meet your mortage payment obligations as well as other fixed expenses throughout the entire mortgage term.

What happens to my Discounted Open Mortgage if I cancel or do not renew the products that provide a reduced interest rate?
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.A., 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; if you do not renew the Repsol electricity service, 0.05% is added; if each mortgage holder does not take out or hold a valid card and use it once a month, 0.10% will be added; if you do not take out, contribute to or make external transfers to Investment Funds or Pension Plans marketed through Openbank worth a net annual amount of at least €600, or accumulated contributions worth a total net amount of at least €600 for each current year of the mortgage, 0.10% will be added, and if none of the products entitling you to a reduction on your mortgage payments are in force, 0.80% 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 plc Home Insurance3 sold through Openbank, taking out the Zurich Life Insurance4 sold through Openbank, signing up for Repsol electricity and/or gas supplies, taking out or holding a valid credit card for each mortgage holder, and using them once a month; and making subscriptions to, making contributions or external transfers to Investment Funds or Pension Plans marketed through Openbank for a net annual amount of at least €600, or accumulated contributions worth a net amount of at least €600 for each current year of the mortgage.
Not meeting discount conditions means: not setting up a direct deposit for your salary, or taking out any insurance, or signing up for any electricity and/or gas supplies, credit card, Investment Funds or Pension Plans of a net annual amount of at least €600. As a result, you will not be eligible for a lower 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. You 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, take out Home Insurance and Life Insurance through Openbank, sign up for Repsol electricity and gas supplies, take out or hold a valid credit card for each mortgage holder and use it at least once per month within each monthly card settlement period, and make subscritions, contribute to or make transfers for a net annual amount of at least €600 or accumulated contributions worth a net amount of at least €600 for each year of the mortgage, you will receive an additional discount of 0.80% 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.

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.
