NIBC offers interest rate discount for energy-efficient homes

Starting today, NIBC is offering up to a 0.10% discount on mortgage interest rates for homes with energy label A or higher. The discount applies to new customers, but also for existing customers who are re-fixing their interest rate or wish to increase their current mortgage. Even customers who take out a mortgage for a home with a lower energy label can benefit by improving their home to energy label A or higher within 24 months. The interest rate discount is automatically applied based on data from the Rijksdienst voor Entrepreneurial Netherlands (RVO).

A green future for everyone

With the Sustainability Discount, NIBC underlines the importance of sustainability and helps customers make sustainable choices. To further support existing clients, NIBC recently introduced the possibility to apply online for a sustainability loan, either independently or with the help of an advisor. This allows customers to easily increase their mortgage up to €25,000 for energy-saving measures, such as insulation or a heat pump. By making this sustainability budget quickly available, NIBC makes investing in sustainability more accessible, and the bank contributes to a greener future, making the housing market more sustainable.

Improving a sustainable housing market

Mortgage brokers and intermediaries have a responsibility to contribute to making the housing market more sustainable. “At NIBC we believe it is important to support clients not only when taking out their mortgage, but throughout the term of their mortgage, to support them in their sustainability goals. With the Sustainability Discount, we are creating a win-win situation: customers save on their monthly costs and at the same time make a positive contribution to the climate.” says Richard Leijnse, Director Mortgages and Savings at NIBC.

With this vision NIBC emphasizes the importance of an ongoing, proactive approach within the financial sector. Sustainability is not a one-off choice when taking out a mortgage, but an ongoing process. By actively involving clients and offering appropriate products and services, NIBC aims to contribute to a greener and more sustainable housing market.
