Bank offers 40-year home loans to counteract rising house prices
Keiyo Bank, headquartered in Chiba City, is rolling out a home loan product with a maximum repayment term of up to 40 years. Up until now, the maximum loan term was 35 years. Although a longer loan term results in higher interest paid in total, the monthly repayments will be slightly less, lowering the bar for younger home buyers to qualify.
