More major banks are raising variable mortgage rates

The state-owned mortgage bank SBAB is raising mortgage interest rates by 0.05 to 0.15 percentage points. In particular, the rate on variable-rate mortgages with a three-month fixed term is being raised by 0.15 percentage points.

"The interest rate adjustment is mainly due to the fact that market interest rates have risen, which has led to increased borrowing costs for the bank," SBAB said in a press release.

SEB and Skandia also raised the variable interest rate by 0.15 percentage points on Tuesday, according to SEB's website and a press release from Skandiabanken.

The announcement comes after a number of other major players in the mortgage market - such as Danske Bank, Swedbank and Nordea - raised variable mortgage rates to a similar extent in recent days.
