SARON mortgage loan: a flexible mortgage for maximum optimisation of your loan 

BCGE's SARON mortgage loan allows you to benefit from transparent and low interest rates. It is based on the SARON (Swiss Average Rate Overnight) overnight interest rate. It reflects the conditions of daily transactions in the secured CHF money market.

The compounded SARON serves as the reference for the calculation of interest rates.

You can react very quickly if interest rates move upwards by simply telling your adviser to convert your SARON mortgage loan into a fixed-rate mortgage loan at the beginning of the next calendar quarter at the interest rate on the day of your request. You will thus optimise the interest rate risk by spreading your loan over a short-term rate (SARON rate) and a medium or long-term rate (fixed rates from 2 to 15 years).

Interesting tax deductions

The interest payments on the loan can be deducted from your annual income and the capital borrowed can be deducted from your personal assets.

Avantage service® loyalty programme

Your mortgage loan can earn you interest bonuses on your BCGE Epargne account thanks to the Avantage service® loyalty programme.

A free weather station!

When you take out a mortgage loan, BCGE offers you a weather station for your future home. Thanks to this high-quality product, the weather will no longer hold any surprises for you.
