ASP loan features

  • The loan can consist of an interest-subsidised ASP loan and a supplementary loan.
  • You will need a supplementary ASP loan when the interest-subsidised ASP loan alone is not enough for the home purchase.
  • The interest on the interest-subsidised ASP loan is lower than on corresponding new housing loans.
  • If the loan interest rate rises over 3.8%, the state pays part of the loan interest as interest subsidy during the first ten loan years.
  • The precondition for the ASP loan is that the home to be purchased is located in Finland.

Maximum amounts of interest-subsidised loans

The maximum amount of interest-subsidised loans when a deal has been concluded or construction has been started on or after 1 November 2014:

  • Helsinki 180,000 euros
  • Espoo, Vantaa and Kauniainen 145,000 euros
  • Other municipalities 115,000 euros

Terms and conditions of an ASP loan

  • Nordea grants you an ASP loan for the acquisition of your first home.
  • You must have saved 10% of the purchase price of the home. We will lend you the remaining 90% of the purchase price. The loan can consist of an interest-subsidised ASP loan and a supplementary loan.
  • The amount of an interest-subsidised ASP loan to be granted to you is 9 times the ASP savings if the loan amount calculated in this way will not exceed the maximum limit depending on your locality (see the section ASP loan features below).
  • The home serves as security for the loan up to 75% of the purchase price.
  • You can obtain a free of charge state guarantee up to 90% of the purchase price of the home. The state guarantee will be subject to a fee with regard to a supplementary loan.
  • You cannot take an ASP loan for buying a lot or a right-of-occupancy flat. In the case of a partially owned flat, you must own at least 50% of the shares.
  • The loan period is 10 to 25 years.
  • Customers under 18 years of age may not draw down an ASP loan.
  • You meet the normal credit-granting criteria when taking out the loan.

ASP account

  • You can start saving regularly for your first home by opening an ASP Account. The precondition for opening an ASP Account is that you are between 15 and 39 years of age. Persons between 15 and 17 years of age may only deposit income from work.
  • In addition to an annual 1% tax-free deposit interest, Nordea pays 4% additional interest on an ASP account for the account opening year and the next five years.
  • When you save in an ASP Account together with your cohabitant, both of you must be under 40 years of age. In the case of a marital spouse, he or she may be over 40.  
  • The first deposit must be at least 150 euros.
  • With an ASP account, you make quarterly deposits of 150–3,000 euros. The minimum number of quarterly deposits is eight, and they do not have to be in consecutive quarters.
  • The minimum saving time is about two years.
  • Once you reach your savings target, we will lend you the rest.

Foreign currency credit

Consumers are not granted loans in any other currency than euro.

A housing loan is considered to be currency credit if the loan is granted in a foreign currency other than that of the EU Members State or the state of belonging to the European Economic Area where the consumer resides. Furthermore, a housing loan is considered to be foreign currency credit if the consumer receives his or her income in another currency of a state of the European Economic Area or in currency of a state of European Economic Area. 

A foreign exchange risk occurs when the borrower's income or assets to be used to repay the credit are not in the same currency as the credit or the credit is not in the currency of borrower's country of residence. A foreign exchange risk refers to the change in price of one currency in relation to another. During the loan period, the value of the credit or the monthly payment may increase in relation to the borrower's income or assets or the currency of the borrower's country of residence. 

If the foreign currency of the borrower's country of residence, income or assets falls by 20 per cent in relation to the euro, the borrower receives a warning that the borrower's loan amount will increase in borrower's national currency.
