Services to suit you


Most of us are so busy with our daily lives that we forget to think about what we really want or need. Take a moment to look at our options to see how we can help you create the future you want.

One of our options is an extra pension which can be used towards your current mortgage or buying a new home. The option is only available to those who have a private pension. More information is provided here.

Payment problems

Everyone can experience temporary financial difficulties during their lifetime. The most important thing is to take action immediately. 

If you are unable to make payments due to temporary difficulties, e.g., unemployment, illness, accidents or other unforeseen circumstances, then you may be eligible to defer your payments for a while.

      Are you taking maternity/paternity leave?

      If baby is on the way and you are about to start your maternity/paternity leave, then you can delay your mortgage payments by anything up to twelve months.

      You can apply for a delay to your payments by sending us the payment schedule from the maternity/paternity fund (Fæðingarorlofssjóður). We will review your payment schedule and subsequently ask you to sign- off on any changes to the Terms and Conditions of your mortgage. The costs associated with these changes can be found in Íslandsbanki's price list.
