BVK Personalvorsorge des Kantons Zürich

BVK is the pension fund of the canton of Zurich and insures its employees along with the staff of affiliated organizations. Alongside occupational pension provision, it offers mortgages to its insured members. The website has a section on mortgage terms as well as a calculator for roughly estimating financing.

For financing home ownership, BVK also points to the advance withdrawal of retirement savings under home ownership promotion rules. This lets policyholders raise capital to buy an owner-occupied home or to pay down a mortgage. BVK provides advice to its insured members, backed up by explainer videos and the myBVK member portal. The website is available in German and English.
