Reduce your interest to 0% and pay less each month
Do you have savings of at least CZK 50,000? Let them reduce your interest and thus monthly mortgage payments. Your money is available at any time, and you can save money every month.
Deposit your free funds (minimum CZK 50,000) on the Hyposavings account, which is completely free, and we will not charge you any interest on the principal amount corresponding to your current Hyposavings account balance.
If your balance on the Hyposavings account is equal to the principal of the mortgage for the whole period of its repayment your interest rate will be 0% per annum and you will only repay the principal. Thus, you will not pay any charges at all. Your savings will still be available and you can freely dispose of them, even withdraw all the balance any time.

Collateral
Mortgages must always involve a lien on the collateral provided for the loan, e.g. real estate in the Czech Republic and Fio banka must be the primary lien holder. This lien must be on the financed real estate (including partially completed structures or lands) or on other suitable residential real estate (finished and provided with use permits). Real estate price appraisals will be completed by Fio banka's contracted assessors based on an order from the loan applicant. In exceptional cases (e.g. refinancing), an appraisal completed by a different appraiser can be provided.
The following can be used as collateral:
- A flat,
- Family home,
- Recreation structure (individual recreation),
- Apartment building with up to 3 units,
- Building lots for residential construction.
Payment protection insurance
Do you want to be insured for unexpected life situations? Make sure you get a payment protection insurance that will help you secure your loan repayment in the following situations:
- In case of death
- In case of third degree disability
- In case of incapacity to work
- In case of loss of employment
By arranging repayment insurance, you will get a 0.2% discount on the interest rate.

Package B - death + third degree disability + incapacity to work - the fee is 0.7% of mortgage amount per annum
Package C - death + third degree disability + incapacity to work + loss of employment - the fee is 0.85% of mortgage amount per annum
The insurance can be arranged for new and existing mortgages (the interest rate will be decreased from the second installment following insurance activation).
