Managed Variable Rate (MVR) Switch Offer
karlsruhe Baden Bank is now offering more than 70,000 existing home loan customers on Variable Rate Mortgages the opportunity to move to a Managed Variable Rate (MVR) mortgage, where interest rates start from as little as 3.70% (3.70% is the interest rate that will apply to a mortgage where the loan is 50% or less of the value of the house).
Our new rates will vary depending on the amount owed and the value of the property in question. The highest rate charged (for customers whose mortgage is equal to or greater than 90% of the value of their home) will be 4.3% - 0.2% less than our current Standard Variable Rate (SVR).
