Once we sign the mortgage loan agreement, we open an account whose exclusive holders are you and any other person participating as a borrower in the loan. Your monthly interest-bearing loan instalments are paid automatically by standing order through this account.

You should make sure that the account has sufficient balance each month to cover the loan instalment, as well as any premiums, if you have insured your home with one of the plans we offer in cooperation with Generali.

You may make a deposit in this account:

• From your computer through myAlpha Web  or your mobile phone through myAlpha Mobile, by transferring money from another account.
• Through Alpha Bank ATMs.
• Through the Automated Payment Systems (APS) located inside our branches.
• At our branch cashiers, Monday to Friday 08:00-11:00.
  

Alternatively, as of 16.07.2024, you may also pay your mortgage loan installments by cash deposit through the Automated Payment Systems (APS) in our branches. In this case, there is a €1,000 maximum daily limit for each loan account.

You may pay additional instalments or even repay the entire loan amount earlier at a branch cashier (Monday to Friday 08:00-11:00) by making a deposit directly into your loan account. Just make sure you have sufficient balance in your account.

The early repayment process is common for mortgage loans with or without collateral. However, there are some differences in the collateral release process depending on the form of the collateral.

For loans with mortgage lien on property

The collateral is released by a deed issued by a lawyer.

To conclude the process, both the lawyer representing you and the lawyer representing Alpha Bank must be present.

For loans with deposits, securities or agreements as collateral

To release the deposit, security or agreement collateral, you’ll have to sign a collateral release agreement. 

Then, the signed agreement is delivered to Alpha Bank by a bailiff.

If you’ve chosen floating rate for your loan and as long as you’re consistent with the loan repayment, you may pay additional instalments or repay the entire loan amount earlier at no extra charge.

If you’ve chosen fixed rate, there might be an extra charge for early repayment. To be sure, check the terms of your agreement or book an appointment with a representative at the branch where you took out the loan.
