4 options for using maternity capital to get a mortgage at VTB

Maternity capital - what is it?

A social assistance program called “maternity capital” was introduced in the Russian Federation on January 1, 2007. From this date, families with a second, third or subsequent child were eligible to receive financial support from the state. This applies not only to parents, but also to adoptive parents.

But from 01.01.20 maternity capital will be issued at the birth of the first child, and at the birth of the second and subsequent ones, its amount will be increased by 150 thousand rubles.

Those who have not previously used this program can apply for benefits. If a family received maternity capital for the birth of a second child, when the third child is born, it can no longer be issued.

It should be noted that in order to receive payments, the child must be a citizen of Russia.

In 2020, the amount of maternity capital is indexed and amounts to 466,617 rubles. It is issued in the form of a personal certificate in the branches of the Pension Fund of the Russian Federation.

How to spend maternity capital on a mortgage

If the pension fund refuses to transfer funds, the decision can be appealed. You must also file a complaint with the Pension Fund of Russia - it will be reviewed by the head of the department or a special department. If the problem is with the paperwork, the answer will come in five days. If something is wrong with the maternity capital - in 15.

Our bank created this offer six years ago. At VTB 24, a mortgage and maternity capital, as a down payment, can be issued subject to certain conditions.

Legislative framework for mortgages involving maternal capital

The issuance of any benefit is regulated by regulations. With regard to the use and receipt of maternity capital, a number of orders of the Ministry of Labor and Social Protection of the Russian Federation, as well as Government resolutions, were adopted. However, the key regulatory act in this matter is the Federal Law of December 29, 2006 No. 256-FZ “On additional measures of state support for families with children.”

According to Federal Law No. 256, the following obligations are imposed on the Pension Fund of the Russian Federation:

• accepting documents from applicants for capital;
• control of their reliability;
• working with citizens when requesting capital funds;
• allocation of federal budget funds.

VTB 24 Bank, like any other lender, is obliged to take into account the legislative framework when applying for a mortgage using maternal capital. Internal banking regulations when carrying out such an operation must be developed taking into account the regulations of the Russian Federation.

Banking requirements for borrowers

The requirements for applicants for a mortgage using maternal capital are no different from those that apply to all other applicants. The future borrower must meet the following parameters:

1. Age ranges from 21 to 60 years for women and 65 years for men. The maximum age limit is indicated at the end of the loan agreement.
2. Availability of permanent income, confirmed by relevant certificates.
3. Work experience at the last place of work is at least 4 months, total - from one year.
4. Permanent registration in Russia.

As for the usual requirement of Russian citizenship, this financial institution does not apply. You can get a housing loan even if you do not have citizenship in the Russian Federation. In addition, in order to receive a loan from VTB 24 for maternity capital, permanent registration in the region of circulation is not necessary.

The process of obtaining a mortgage for capital in VTB 24

Most often, applicants are interested in how to get a mortgage using maternity capital from VTB 24, because having a certificate requires applying not only to the bank, but also to the Pension Fund. The first step will be to obtain the certificate itself from the Pension Fund and an extract from your account to provide to the bank.

The subsequent process looks like this:

1. Collection of documentation for the lender.
2. Selecting a program and applying for a loan. The available proposals can be divided into two areas: the purchase of finished housing and an apartment in a new building. A mortgage for the construction of a house with maternal capital is not issued at VTB 24, since the organization does not have such a program.
3. Selection of real estate after receiving a positive decision. The bank allows up to 60 days for this.
4. Collection and submission of documents on the apartment for consideration of the selected object by the bank.
5. Signing a loan agreement.

This is a standard procedure for applying for a home loan. Then follows the repayment of the mortgage at VTB 24 with maternity capital. To do this, you need to contact the Pension Fund with an application to transfer funds under the certificate to your bank account. The application is considered within 30 days. After an affirmative response from the Pension Fund, the same period will be required to complete the transaction.

If the loan is closed completely using matkapital, then you need to contact the bank again for a certificate of mortgage repayment, pick up the mortgage and remove the encumbrance from Rosreestr. After this, the apartment owner has 6 months to register a share for the children. This is a mandatory condition for attracting maternal capital when applying for a mortgage.

If the loan is partially repaid, you only need to obtain a new payment schedule from the bank, according to which you will continue to pay the debt. At VTB 24, with partial early repayment, the monthly payment amount is reduced, but the borrowing term remains the same.

Application methods

At the moment, an online application for a mortgage against maternity capital cannot be submitted to VTB 24, although there is a link to filling out the application on the lender’s official website.

The most popular way is still to contact a bank office. With a package of documents, the applicant turns to the credit manager, with the help of whom he fills out the application form. After that, he waits for 3-4 days. During this period, the applicant’s solvency and the accuracy of the information provided are checked.

The procedure for repaying a mortgage with maternity capital

Banks are required to accept maternity capital as payment for part of the mortgage. But in practice, refusals are possible, since most financial institutions do not position their mortgage “products” as a public offer. This means that the bank itself has the right to choose who to give a mortgage to and who to refuse due to various circumstances.

Contacting the Pension Fund

• Paying off the mortgage in full is important when the loan was issued before the birth of the 2nd or next child, or when the mortgage amount was initially small.
• Reduce the size of monthly payments (this is possible with annuity payments). The mortgage term will remain at the same level.
• Reduce the loan payment period while maintaining the same monthly amount.

Transferring capital to form your future pension is also the height of frivolity, since the Pension Fund manages contributions ineffectively, as a result of which they depreciate under the influence of inflation.

It is a state benefit paid from the country's federal budget to families with two or more children. This amount can only be used for the intended purpose: for pensions, for improving living conditions, for education. The right to receive family capital arises immediately after the birth of the mother’s second child. However, according to the law, a man can also receive capital in certain cases prescribed by law, for example, if the mother died or was deprived of parental rights, or the man is the sole adoptive parent of a second and subsequent child. You cannot receive matkapital in cash, since it cannot be transferred to a specific person. The fund directs it exclusively to company accounts, depending on how the owner decides to use it.

As you know, this form of subsidy is provided by the state at the birth of a second child, as well as subsequent ones. The main goal of the Russian authorities is to provide support to families and ensure an increase in the birth rate in the country.

Thus, you can buy an apartment:

• on the secondary market and in any city in the Russian Federation;
• premises in a new building;
• in an unfinished building.

If the capital was received after the mortgage was granted, then it is possible to reduce the term or recalculate the funds after paying part of the loan with this money.

Matkapital as a starting payment for a mortgage

VTB 24 makes it possible not only to repay a loan with a certificate, but also to use maternity capital as a down payment. The minimum starting payment at this financial institution varies from 10 to 20%, depending on the chosen program.
