Major banks raise long-term mortgage rates

Swedbank, one of the largest lenders in the Swedish mortgage market, is raising interest rates on mortgages with terms of one to ten years. The increase comes after long-term market interest rates were pushed higher by the war in the Middle East.

For a mortgage with a one-year term, Swedbank will increase the listed rate on the mortgage by 0.30 percentage points. For a two-year loan, there will be an increase of 0.35 percentage points, and for longer terms the interest rate will increase by 0.40 percentage points.

The interest rate on mortgages with a three-month fixed term, so-called floating interest rates, is left unchanged.

Danske Bank is also raising its fixed mortgage rates. Interest rates with a fixed term of between one and ten years will be increased by 0.20–0.40 percentage points.

Last week, SBAB and Nordea also raised their long-term interest rates.

Corrected: In a previous version, the wrong unit was used for the increase.
