    Frequently asked questions about UCI mortgage loan transfer.

    • A mortgage transfer is the process of moving your mortgage from a financial institution to another. It involves paying off your existing mortgage and transferring the outstanding balance to the new lender.

    • There are several advantages to transferring your mortgage to UCI:

      • ✓ The opportunity to access competitive financial conditions.
      • ✓ The option to choose your interest rate: variable, mixed or fixed.
      • ✓ The ability to optimise your mortgage term, between 7 and 30 years.
      • ✓ No need to purchase other products: no credit card, retirement plans, or bundled services.
      • ✓ No need to open a new bank account.
      • ✓ Dedicated support from a team of mortgage experts throughout every step.
    • Once we approve your request, you must notify your current bank of your intention to transfer the mortgage.

      In practice, this means a full repayment of your existing mortgage and the corresponding mortgage amount being transferred to UCI.

    • All costs associated with the transfer, such as bank fees and mortgage registration expenses, will be clearly presented to you during the application process.

    • Early repayment costs may apply, as defined by law:

      • ✓ A fee of 0.5% of the repaid amount for early repayment during a variable interest rate period (plus stamp duty).
      • ✓ A fee of 2% of the repaid amount for early repayment during a fixed interest rate period (plus stamp duty).
    • Yes! Once your mortgage transfer request has been submitted, your current bank has up to 10 business days to provide you with all the required information related to your mortgage transfer, including details such as how much you still owe and how long you’ve had the mortgage.

    • In addition to the usual documentation required for the analysis of the mortgage application, the following documents are required for a mortgage transfer:

      • ✓ A statement of the outstanding balance from your current bank.
      • ✓ The mortgage discharge document (distrate).
