Euribor is a Euro Interbank Offered Rate at which eurozone banks offer to lend funds in euros to other banks. The Euribor is published by the European Money Markets Institute or another officially designated organisation. 

For more information on Euribor please see here.

The Euribor interest rate can change (increase or decrease) depending on the market situation.

On the basis of historical data, the highest value of the most frequently applied interest rate of the 6‑month Euribor was ~5.5 %.  

The recent hike in the Euribor interest rate benchmark, which is projected to accelerate and fuel an increase in monthly loan payments, has triggered customers’ interest how it can affect their monthly loan payments.

The Bank's data suggest that, currently, the average loan amount is EUR ~93,000. Thus, taking into account the average loan amount and making an assumption that the Euribor can rise from 0% to 1%, the provisional average loan instalment might increase from EUR 40 to EUR 60 per month (depending on the interest margin and the loan term).

The following are examples of how the increase of Euribor could impact monthly loan instalments:

Provisional average loan instalment/per month depending on Euribor value, EUR

Loan amount, EUR	0 %	0.3 %	0.6 %	0.8 %	1.0 %	1.5 %	2.0 %	Spread when applying 0 % and 2 % Euribor, EUR
30,000	152	156	161	163	166	174	182	30
50,000	253	260	267	272	277	290	303	50
80,000	405	416	428	436	444	464	485	80
100,000	506	520	535	545	555	580	606	100
150,000	759	780	802	817	832	870	909	150
200,000	1012	1040	1070	1089	1109	1160	1212	200

*The provisional calculations were carried out by applying the interest margin of 2 %, assuming that the duration of the loan agreement is 20 years, and the loan repayment method is annuity.

With the Euribor interest rate in negative territory over the past few years, many customers have paid the interest margin only and forgotten that monthly loan payments are subject to fluctuations in the Euribor, which means that when it goes up, monthly loan instalments might rise too. Provisional calculations suggest that monthly loan instalments should not increase dramatically.

Choosing a fixed rate with a fixed interest period over a variable interest rate is a good idea if you want to avoid any possible interest rate fluctuations and thus any possible increase in your loan instalments. For both new and existing mortgage loans, you can select fixed rates with a fixed interest period up to five years. This means that interest rates will not change during the selected period of time and the customers who chose this type of interest rates will pay fixed monthly instalments that will remain unchanged until the date set in the agreement with the Bank. 

With fixed rates, you will pay the same amount throughout the mortgage and your monthly loan instalments will not be affected by economic fluctuations such as the sharp rise of the benchmark rate. Once the fixed period expires, the fixed interest rate will convert to the variable interest rate in accordance with the terms and conditions set in the agreement.

If you decide to choose fixed rates, you will need to complete a free form application in your internet bank: Letters → New letter → Free form application. As soon as we receive your application, we will contact you to discuss and agree on individual terms and conditions. 

Please note that the fixed interest rate is higher than the variable interest rate and if you want to repay your loan early, an early prepayment fee may be applied. 

According to the Responsible Lending Regulations, when granting credit with a variable interest rate, banks must assess the creditor’s ability to withstand likely leaps in interest rates and to repay the credit. Also, banks must inform the creditor of a possible increase in monthly payments (e.g., when the interest rate goes up to 8 %) before the agreement is signed.  

Prior to granting a loan, banks assess each customer's situation individually, taking into account their income level, income sustainability and other important criteria. Please note that the maximum amount of a person's or family's monthly loan payment (under financial obligations) cannot exceed 40 % of monthly income. Therefore, customers planning to take out a loan should evaluate their existing financial obligations and calculate their loan repayment amount to ensure that the loan would not become a heavy financial burden in future.

Credit instalments are paid monthly according to the schedule provided in the loan agreement. However, you can pay off your loan in full or pay off a part of your loan before the term originally set in the loan agreement.

If you wish to pay off your loan in full or a part of it early, you need to submit an application (Loans → Loan repayment application) to the bank and accumulate sufficient funds in the account specified in your loan agreement to cover the part of the loan being repaid, the prepayment penalty, if applicable, and payments due under the agreement.

If the portion of the loan is repaid earlier, all remaining loan instalments will be reduced proportionately. If it is an instalment loan, the oldest individual loan portion will be covered first. If terms of a few individual loan portions are scheduled on the same date, the portion with the higher interest rate will be covered first, unless otherwise stated in your application.

There is no fee for early repayment of a variable rate loan. 

The penalty for fixed interest rate loans is calculated individually, using the formula provided on the bank’s website. The prepayment fee does not apply if the loan or a part of the loan is repaid on the day of interest change.

If you wish to pay off the remaining amount of the loan in full, you can check loan’s balance by logging into your internet bank and selecting "My liabilities” under the “Loans” section.

If the interest rate of the loan is fixed for a period longer than 12 months, the early repayment fee is provided in the pricelist. The early repayment fee is not applied for the loans with the variable interest rate.

No, the interest rate will not change; however, the schedule of the instalments will.

You can check your last payment date in your credit agreement as well as your internet bank under Loans → My liabilities where you can find full information on your loans. If your loan is repaid, you’ll see no active loans.

If you need a reference for the loan you’ve repaid, you can order it from your internet bank under Letters → New letter. The fee for the reference will be debited from your account according to our price list.

After the final monthly payment, the bank will debit funds from your account for the notary fee and in discharge the mortgage from the property within 10 business days.

Your mortgage must be discharged by a notary, and we will take care of it in collaboration with the 14^th Notary Office of Vilnius City Municipality. If you’d like to collaborate with a different notary office, the bank can help you find another one. It takes 10 business days to discharge the mortgage.

After you’ve made the final mortgage loan payment, Luminor will immediately provide this information to the Central Bank of Lithuania.

To see if the mortgage has been discharged from your property, order a new data request from the Registry Centre (Registru centras) 10 business days after we have debited the fee for the notary. You won’t receive any additional mortgage discharge confirmation.

Yes. After the final mortgage loan repayment has been made and the mortgage has been discharged, the bank doesn’t apply any restrictions to the property, and you don’t have to align any future actions with us.

After the last monthly payment, consult your insurance company to change the beneficiary. Please make sure to check the terms and conditions described in your insurance policy.
