Garanti Bank, one of the most innovative and dynamic banks on the local market, modifies the lending policy for Euro mortgage loans. As such, the minimum down payment for an Euro mortgage loan becomes 40%, starting this April, said the bank in a statement.

Furthermore, the bank reduces the loan-to-value ratio (LTV), from 75% to 60%, for Euro mortgage loans, as well as for Euro consumer loans with collateral.

The conditions for accessing RON loans, in terms of minimum down payment and loan-to-value ratio, remain unchanged.

“The decision of raising the minimum down payment for Euro mortgage loans is a prudential one, and it is a result of market analysis and estimations. Garanti Bank has a very competitive real estate product and we will continue to stand by our clients’ side and offer them the best financial solutions in both RON and Euro”, stated Ufuk Tandoğan, CEO Garanti Bank.
