Everything about Sberbank mortgages for its employees: interest rate, requirements for the employee and design features

The housing issue for people working at Sberbank is no less pressing than for other Russians. For many families, the only way to purchase their own home is to take out a long-term housing loan. The leadership in the mortgage lending market is firmly held by Sberbank, the leading banking organization in Russia.

And, of course, for its employees the bank has developed a separate program for issuing housing loans, characterized by relaxed conditions and requirements. But it is a mistake to believe that mortgages for Sberbank employees are practically interest-free. Like other areas for issuing housing loans, this program has its own rules.

Mortgage lending for Sberbank employees is issued according to preferential criteria

The essence of a housing loan for bank employees

Sberbank provides its employees with preferential terms for mortgage lending. In order to submit an application for consideration, you do not need to look for a branch, just come to work and submit the necessary documents. This program allows Sberbank employees to be confident that they have some advantage because they have chosen this particular organization to work.

Features of housing lending for Sberbank employees

Being the largest credit and financial organization, Sber provides its employees with the processing of preferential types of housing loans with the provision of collateral in the form of purchased real estate. Bank employees can fill out an application form for mortgage lending right at their workplace .

It is worth knowing that similar benefits are also provided to Sberbank’s salary clients working in those organizations that have entered into a mutually beneficial agreement with Sberbank.

Mortgages for Sberbank employees are on more favorable and preferential terms than for other clients and even salary ones. One of the advantages of such lending is the release of Sber employees who apply for a mortgage from the tedious collection of necessary documentation. The processing time for applications has also been reduced.

Features with advantages and disadvantages

The decision to take out a mortgage in the organization where the employee works is determined by Sberbank’s loyalty to him. This is manifested in the following advantages of such a mortgage:

• a rate reduction of approximately 1.5-2 points compared to a regular client;
• no fees for the registration procedure;
• consideration takes place in a short time;
• the opportunity to obtain a loan by providing a small contribution.

The low rate is explained primarily by loyalty and, of course, checking the solvency of the borrower who receives the money he earns on a Sberbank card. In this case, the banking organization can easily track the possibility of paying the mortgage debt.

There are few disadvantages to this type of mortgage, except that work colleagues will be aware of plans to take out a mortgage loan if they wish. This factor may confuse someone, and some employees do not hide their desire to get an apartment and willingly provide all the required documents.

Therefore, taking out a loan from the organization where the employee is registered is not only profitable, but also reasonable , since the chances of approval are much higher than in other organizations involved in providing mortgage loans.

Who is a participant in the salary project: important conditions

A participant in the Sberbank salary project is the owner of a debit card, to which the employer transfers the salary amount monthly. In this case, an agreement is concluded between the bank and the company, which defines the terms of cash settlement services and the procedure for transferring money to employee cards.

Since each payroll project involves a thorough check of the partner legal entity, and key information about the employee (salary level, frequency of payments, movement of funds in the account) is freely available to Sberbank, borrowers who are payroll clients are included in the category of the most reliable and priority for lending, including mortgage.

Salary project participants include clients who:

• have owned a personal salary card for more than 6 months (that is, they have continuous experience in their current position);
• have received at least 3 salary deposits into your bank account in the last 3 months;
• are residents and registered on the territory of the Russian Federation.

Conditions of receipt for salary clients

Interest rates for those clients who have Sberbank salary cards are significantly lower than for those who applied for the purchase of an apartment, while being a client of a third-party bank.

Reference! The rate will depend on the term of the mortgage and the amount requested to be borrowed.

It is important for a Sberbank employee to decide on the type of housing being purchased. If the purchase is planned to be made on the secondary housing market, then the rate will be from 11.5%. You can find out more about mortgages from Sberbank for secondary housing here.

For those who wish to take out a loan for housing under construction, the rate will be deducted from 12 percent. The final interest rate will be decided taking into account the employee’s length of service and salary.

The maximum amount provided for a mortgage can reach 15 million rubles. Therefore, employees receive a bonus in the form of a relatively low rate and a high loan amount. The maximum term of a mortgage loan can reach 30 years (what is the minimum mortgage amount at Sberbank?)

Requirements for the borrower

Despite the fact that the employee is on the staff of Sberbank, he must meet the established criteria. Otherwise, he may not be approved for a loan even on preferential terms.

Mortgage lending will be provided only if all conditions are met. These include:

1. If the total work experience is at least one year.
2. An employee works at Sberbank for at least six months.
3. The employee was not blacklisted.
4. In the absence of outstanding debts to banks relating to large amounts of financial assets.
5. At the time of filing the application, the employee is already twenty-one years old.
6. At the time of debt repayment, the age should not exceed 75 years. Read more about the borrower age requirements for a Sberbank mortgage here.

Important! If all of the above requirements are met, then the client has the opportunity to take advantage of the mortgage program to purchase a home in a house under construction or in a finished house.

In addition to the mandatory requirements for the employee, Sberbank will check the following points:

• number of dependents;
• presence of arrears on the borrower's loans;
• arrears on loans from relatives of the applicant.

How to apply for a mortgage at Sberbank

A Sberbank employee, as well as another client, has two ways to complete an application:

1. By hand by entering information into the application form;
2. Online on the Sberbank website.

The employee will pick up the application form at work. Filling out an application online is also easy: the “Submit Application” button on the bank’s website is located opposite the description of each mortgage product.

When filling out the application, the applicant must indicate in it the following information:

• Personal, passport, contact;
• About employment;
• About marital status and family ties;
• About official income and available assets;
• About the employing organization (its organizational and legal form, staff);
• About the presence of other unclosed loans;
• About the planned loan (mortgage program, amount and term of the loan, nature of the collateral).

The application will be reviewed within the day of its submission. A quick decision on an application is an advantage for Sberbank employees planning a mortgage.

Necessary parameters of the purchased property

The bank will not allow you to purchase real estate that does not meet all the requirements established by management. These include:

1. Age of deterioration of housing. A dilapidated building is not suitable for mortgage lending. Thus, the maximum life of the house can reach 30 years.
2. The foundation of the house must be made of durable material such as reinforced concrete or stone.
3. A legally clean apartment is suitable as collateral; this means that no minors should be registered in it and there are no encumbrances on the living space.
4. The size of the area must meet certain conditions, for example, a one-room apartment cannot be less than 32 square meters. Special instructions exist for two and three-room apartments.
5. Housing must have communications such as water, electricity and other means of convenience for citizens.

Mortgage conditions

If you want to receive credit funds, the holder of a salary card must meet the list of requirements:

• the period of ownership of the salary card is more than six months;
• over the past three months there must be at least three salary receipts into her account;
• duration of employment at the current place of work: at least three months - for an application for consumer lending, at least six months - for mortgage lending;
• the age of the borrower, as well as co-borrowers, from 21 years to: 65 years - for conventional lending, 75 years - for mortgage lending;
• having a passport and Russian citizenship.

These criteria are mandatory for all participants in salary projects who wish to apply for a loan from Sberbank. To be more likely to have your loan application approved, it is advisable to have a clean credit history. This also applies to co-borrowers, whose welfare and income level are also taken into account when calculating the loan.

Documents for registration

Most documents are kept by the employer in the HR department, but some of the documents will still have to be provided. They must be collected in the specified volume and delivered to the branch where the application for a mortgage loan will be submitted.

To obtain a mortgage loan, an employee will need:

• Russian passport;
• a certificate issued by the employer in form 2-NDFL;
• application for a mortgage at Sberbank.

There is some peculiarity that concerns only women in the bank structure. If at the time of filing the application the employee is on maternity leave, then the benefit for the specialist will not apply. This factor must be taken into account when contacting a bank.

Filling out an application

The application is a questionnaire drawn up by the bank, which reflects information about the borrower.

You can print out the questions on the Sberbank website or get them at a branch. It is recommended to fill it out clearly and correctly so that the bank does not have any questions.

This is important, since it is the application form that largely determines the decision on the loan application. It is, of course, easier for the employee to print and fill out this information in the office.

Note! The questions include five consecutive subsections, representing so-called blocks. The information concerns the personal data of the applying employee, his financial capabilities and work.

Paper submission process

You can submit documents for consideration by the bank at the nearest branch. For bank employees, the branch where they work is preferred. The manager will check the availability of all papers and create an application for a mortgage loan. The review will not take long, since the application concerns a salary client, and then a response will come. Everything about the application processing time is here.

The advantages of such a mortgage

It is much easier and faster to obtain a housing loan for Sberbank employees than for other categories of citizens. The benefits of this home loan program are as follows:

1. The annual rate has been reduced by 1–2 points compared to other programs.
2. There are no commissions charged for completing a housing transaction.
3. The time frame for reviewing an application for a mortgage loan has been shortened.
4. The required down payment has also been reduced.

It is worth knowing that the annual mortgage rate for Sberbank employees is considered individually and may be reduced.

Such benefits are based on the bank’s ability to fully control the income/expenses of its subordinates. If we consider the disadvantages of the preferential housing subsidy program for Sber employees, then, according to reviews, no such ones have been identified .

Insurance

Mortgage insurance is an important part for a bank. Since the property being purchased is a collateral to the bank, it is important for the bank to ensure the safety and liquidity of the apartment or house. Therefore, insuring a property is a mandatory procedure. The average cost of this type of insurance is 0.225% per annum.

The second type of insurance is purchased at will and concerns the health of the borrower. If due to unforeseen circumstances an accident or death occurs to him, then his relatives will be able to take advantage of the insurance. The amount of such insurance at Sberbank is 1.99% per annum.

Approval and refusal

If a positive decision is made on the application, the salary client continues to apply for a mortgage loan. For a Sberbank employee, there is a high probability that the application will be approved .

However, sometimes even one’s position in the bank’s structure cannot help with approval. This may be due to a negative credit history or increased financial burden and unaffordable payments. The bank may refuse even if the documents are filled out incorrectly.

Find out more information about approval and refusal when considering a mortgage application at Sberbank.

Obtaining a mortgage from a bank has become commonplace, and most families use this type of lending to purchase housing. Bank employees can use mortgage lending on special terms with the provision of benefits and quick consideration of the application. Therefore, they have some advantage over other borrowers who use a mortgage.

Features of the registration procedure

There is no particular difference in the procedure for obtaining a loan among bank employee borrowers. The difference exists only at the stage of submitting documents, because employees are required to provide a minimum of documents from the employer. There are differences in the lending conditions themselves.

Otherwise, Sberbank employees sign the same loan agreement as other clients. The agreement necessarily stipulates lower loan rates and other bonuses for its employees. Fines and other sanctions for overdue debt for bank employees are usually the same as for other borrowers.
