Swissquote

A Lombard loan enables you to expand your securities portfolio or rapidly take advantage of new opportunities on the market without having to inject new liquidity or sell assets in your portfolio.

You may be able to obtain liquidity against the pledge of your various assets.

Interest debited solely on the amount used

No fees or additional administrative costs

Attractive interest rates and conditions

Loan application and signing of the agreement done entirely online

Obtain your loan in one hour when applying online

Risks:

Insofar as the credit limit granted is established by Swissquote based on the collateral value of your assets, certain events may cause Swissquote to reduce this limit at any time.

This is possible, in particular, if there is a depreciation in value or lack of liquidity of one or more securities pledged as collateral.

The consequences could be the forced sale of securities, the requirement to bring forth additional securities or the reimbursement of the credit.

In extreme cases, there is a risk of total loss of assets.

Price and currency risks are borne exclusively by the client.

Furthermore, obtaining a Lombard loan for private asset management may be considered by the Federal Tax Administration as an indicator of taxable gainful self-employment.

The client is solely responsible for any tax consequences resulting from the reclassification of his/her trading activities as gainful self-employment.

If you want to buy property in Switzerland and meet all eligibilityrequirements, yes.

You must be a client with Swissquote.

Your life partner may become a joint debtor with a view to financing the mortgage as an additional borrower.

You must live in Switzerland and may not be a US person.

Your current income from employment, self-employment and pensions must ensure the long-term affordability of the property

• If self-employed, you must prove that your taxable income has been at least CHF 100,000 for the past three years

• Affordability must not exceed 35% for a main residence and 20% for a second residence or holiday home

The property must be located in Switzerland.

• The property must be an existing single-family home or an existing owner-occupied flat. Properties undergoing construction may not be financed.

• The property must belong to you; it is not possible to finance building lots.

• Usufructs, pre-emptive rights and rights of abode may not be entered in the land register on behalf of third parties

When buying a property, you must be able to provide your own resources in full before any loan is granted (it is not possible to make advance withdrawals from pension plans).

• It is possible to pay for a property by making advance withdrawals from pension plans only if the amount loaned (mortgage + advance withdrawal from pension plans/property value) does not exceed 65%.

• The maximum amount loaned is 80% for a main residence and 60% for a second residence or holiday home. The minimum repayment for a main residence is determined such that the amount loaned is reduced to a maximum of 65% within 15 years.

• Interest must be paid quarterly.

• Loan repayments are determined by the bank and must be made semiannually in equal instalments. You may not make indirect repayments via pension assets (Pillar 3).

• A linked account will be opened with Basellandschaftliche Kantonalbank for the purposes of debiting interest and repayments and handling the mortgage. It is the client’s responsibility to ensure that funds are provided on time.

• The first payout (if the contractual details specify a staggered mortgage payout) takes place between today and one year thereafter. The last payout (complete mortgage payout) takes place between the date of the first payout and five years thereafter.
