[Asia Economy Reporter Kwon Haeyoung] Korea Housing Finance Corporation announced on the 21st that it will lower the March interest rates of the long-term fixed-rate, installment repayment mortgage loan 'Bogeumjari Loan' by 0.2 percentage points.


The 'u-Bogeumjari Loan,' applied for through the KHFC website, and the 't-Bogeumjari Loan,' applied for at bank counters, can be used at annual interest rates ranging from 2.3% (10-year term) to 2.55% (30-year term) depending on the loan maturity. The 'Akkim e-Bogeumjari Loan,' which is applied for online through electronic contracts and reduces costs, offers lower interest rates by 0.1 percentage points, ranging from 2.2% (10 years) to 2.45% (30 years) annually.


When refinancing variable-rate or lump-sum repayment loans obtained from secondary financial institutions into a better Bogeumjari Loan, the interest rates are the same as those of the u-Bogeumjari Loan or t-Bogeumjari Loan. If an electronic contract is made, the Akkim e-Bogeumjari Loan interest rate applies.


Socially disadvantaged groups (single-parent families, persons with disabilities, multicultural families, families with three or more children) or newlyweds can receive additional interest rate benefits.



A KHFC official explained, "We decided to lower the interest rates to minimize the interest burden on actual borrowers by reflecting the recent downward trend in market interest rates."
