Mortgage
SARON mortgage
Variable rate indexed on SARON — typically cheaper on long-term average.
SARON (Swiss Average Rate Overnight) replaced LIBOR in 2022. Your rate = 3-month compound SARON + bank margin (0.6-1.5%). Historically cheaper long-term than fixed, but volatile.
Only bank margin
Polia compares 70 banks' margins (0.6-1.5%).
Flexible exit
Cancel every 3-6 months — cheaper than fixed.
FAQ
- Can SARON go negative?
- Theoretically yes (as in 2015-2022), but contracts usually set a 0% floor.
- What if rates rise sharply?
- Your instalments rise. Most banks let you switch to fixed any time.
