AMD 20 Million Mortgage for 15 Years: Green and Standard Options Compared

Summary. Based on terms available on 4 November 2026, a common AMD 20 million, 15-year scenario produces a simplified monthly payment of roughly AMD 240,000–273,000 for two National Mortgage Company-refinanced offers, depending on the nominal rate and whether the property qualifies as energy efficient. The lowest “from” rate is not automatically the cheapest final loan: APR, down payment, insurance, one-off costs and the rate structure all matter.

What we compared

We reviewed AMD home-purchase mortgages from Acba and Evocabank refinanced through the National Mortgage Company. The NMC explains that it does not lend directly to households; it provides long-term wholesale refinancing to partner financial institutions.

Common scenario: AMD 20 million, 180 months, annuity payments. We used the published minimum and maximum nominal rates and the standard monthly annuity formula. Appraisal, insurance, notary, registration and borrower-specific costs are excluded, so these figures do not replace APR.

Published terms

  • Evocabank standard NMC: 12.5–13% nominal, AMD 2–35 million, 120–240 months. Standard LTV up to 70%; up to 90% with additional collateral or mortgage-liability insurance. No early-repayment penalty.
  • Evocabank green NMC: 12–12.5% nominal, AMD 2–45 million, 120–240 months. Developer property must have at least a B energy class. Bank-funded insurance/down-payment options can add 0.4–0.6 percentage points.
  • Acba non-energy-efficient: 13.3–14.5% fixed nominal, AMD 1–35 million, 120–180 months. Normally at least 30% down; 10% can be possible with additional collateral or insurance. A 1% fee, or no fee with +0.5 percentage point to the rate.
  • Acba energy-efficient: 12.8–14.0% fixed nominal, AMD 1–35 million, 120–180 months. Published APR range: 14.32–15.82%. Appraisal, notary, registration and insurance costs apply.

AMD 20 million over 15 years

Under the simplified annuity calculation, Evocabank’s green range of 12–12.5% gives about AMD 240,000–247,000 per month; its standard 12.5–13% range gives about AMD 247,000–253,000. Acba’s energy-efficient 12.8–14% range gives roughly AMD 250,000–266,000, while its non-energy-efficient 13.3–14.5% range gives about AMD 257,000–273,000.

If the rate never changed and there were no extra costs, total payments over 180 months would be about AMD 43.2–49.2 million. This is why a difference of 0.5–1 percentage point is material over a long mortgage term.

Why a green mortgage may cost less but may not be available

Both banks publish lower starting rates for qualifying energy-efficient property. Yet the discount depends on the property meeting the program rules. Evocabank states that a home bought from a developer must have an energy passport showing at least class B. Borrowers should therefore verify the building’s documents, not just the sale price.

Nominal rate is not APR

The CBA’s Regulation 8/01 defines APR as the annualized total mandatory cost of credit, including interest and required payments. The CBA’s consumer regulation page also points borrowers to the Home Mortgage Law and APR disclosure rules.

Acba publishes APR ranges of 14.89–16.40% for non-energy-efficient loans and 14.32–15.82% for energy-efficient loans. The reviewed Evocabank terms page does not publish a separate APR range, so applicants should request the individualized information sheet listing APR and every mandatory cost.

Three risks beyond the monthly payment

  • Down-payment risk: an AMD 20 million loan at 70% LTV implies a property value of at least about AMD 28.6 million and roughly AMD 8.6 million of own funds. A 90% LTV may reduce the cash need but can require extra collateral or insurance.
  • Cost risk: appraisal, notary, registration and annual property/borrower insurance can change the real cost.
  • Income risk: a payment of AMD 240,000–273,000 should remain affordable under weaker-income or higher-expense scenarios. A 3–6 month emergency reserve is prudent.

What this means for the reader

If the home qualifies as energy efficient, a green mortgage may reduce both the monthly payment and total interest. The practical next step is to request individualized quotes from both banks for exactly AMD 20 million over 180 months, then compare APR, first payment, total repayable amount, all one-off and annual fees, early-repayment terms and property eligibility.

The CBA raised its policy rate to 7.00% on 3 November 2026, but that does not automatically reset already published fixed mortgage rates. Always check the validity date of the bank’s personal offer on the day you apply.
