Information on indirect amortisation of your mortgage via 3a retirement solutions at Bank CIC
- You pay the annual repayment amount directly into a 3a retirement account.
- Unlike with direct amortisation, the amount of the second mortgage does not change over the entire term, meaning that none of the amount borrowed is repaid.
- You can claim back the tax on both the constant mortgage interest and the payments made into the third pillar.
- You can use the 3a capital paid in to pay off your mortgage at a later date (for example when you retire or when your mortgage is due for repayment).
