MUFG housing loan

MUFG housing loan: rate snapshot, realistic pricing factors, eligibility, fees, and best fit.

Direct answers

MUFG shows a variable rate around 0.945–0.995% depending on the discount course, a fixed 10-year around 3.59%, a generally 2.20% percentage fee with no guarantee fee on the reviewed product, and terms up to 40 years without the highlighted surcharge.

Key points

  • Advertised rates are execution-month or example figures verified August 1, 2026, not guaranteed offers.
  • Realistic pricing depends on LTV, term, underwriting additions, and bundled-service discounts.
  • Confirm eligibility, property rules, fees, and insurance in a dated written quotation.
  • Compare the all-in cost over your expected holding period, not the headline rate.

Rate snapshot

Variable 0.945% (main page) / 0.995% (specified discount course); fixed 10-year 3.59%.

Advertised rates are execution-month or example figures verified August 1, 2026, not guaranteed offers; the final rate, LTV band, and conditions are set only at underwriting and execution. Obtain a dated written quotation.

Realistic pricing, loan limits, and eligibility

Percentage-fee structure generally 2.20%; guarantee fee stated as unnecessary for the reviewed product; up to 40 years without the highlighted term surcharge. Reconcile the headline page and detailed-course display before applying.

Strengths, weaknesses, and best fit

Best for conventional salaried borrowers wanting a major branch network plus online service. The headline-page and detailed-course rates must be reconciled.

How to use this profile

Use MUFG housing loan as one entry on a screened shortlist, not as a verdict. A fair comparison holds the execution date, loan-to-value band, term, insurance, and expected holding period constant across every lender, and weighs the all-in cost — the execution-month rate, the origination or guarantee fee, insurance additions, registration, and any early-repayment charge — over the years you actually expect to hold the loan, rather than the headline rate alone. A 2.20% origination fee on a ¥50 million loan is ¥1.10 million before other costs, which can outweigh a small rate difference for a short holding period.

Because pricing changes monthly and some fields are not disclosed on the public page, request a dated written quotation showing your actual rate, discount margin, fees, insurance options, and any LTV or term surcharge, and reconcile the headline page with the detailed-course page where they differ. Cover a major bank, an online bank, a relationship or regional bank, and any specialist route you need before deciding, and confirm eligibility for your residence status, income type, and the specific property.
