The UVA market is seeing a resurgence with the relaunch of new lines of credit by Banco Hipotecario. Now, City Bank has joined the movement to provide more confidence in debtors. Public and semi-public banks are leading the charge, with private banks expected to follow suit later this year.
Banco Ciudad’s initial proposal offers a maximum amount of 250 million pesos with terms up to 20 years and an annual nominal rate of 5.5%, which drops to 3.5% for properties in the Buenos Aires microcenter.

Banco Hipotecario has also launched a credit line with similar terms but extended to 30 years. They offer a rate of 8.5%, dropping to 4.25% for borrowers with a salary account at the bank. Priority for credits will be given to those with salary accounts at specific entities and will finance up to 80% of the operation.
