With Vitru, Rabobank is launching a new label for commercial real estate financing through intermediaries. Vitru finances rented homes up to three million euros and focuses on landlords who rent out sustainable homes for the long term. Through the intermediary portal built by PAQT, the intermediary is fully supported in submitting financing applications.

The encouragement of sustainability

Vitru is an addition to Rabobank’s current tailored solutions. The portal fulfills the role of a counter for financing applications, where intermediaries can submit their applications. Together with tech partner PAQT, Vitru has succeeded in showing early in the process whether an application meets the conditions. This way, intermediaries know sooner where they stand, but also how they can meet those conditions. This creates a transparent and smooth process. The automatic link with the website for rates and connected intermediaries, among other things, has also been established thanks to PAQT.

Vitru encourages sustainability by offering a more competitive interest rate for better energy labels. An intermediary can immediately see the maximum loan amount by entering a number of details. They can then submit their financing application in the intermediary portal. Because of PAQT’s automations, an intermediary has clarity on the application in a short time.

Anoek de Haas, CEO Vitru: “We reward good landlordism with lower interest rates. As far as we are concerned, this is about more than an energy label. We focus on investors who want to rent out sustainable homes for the long term. We want to facilitate financing applications that fit that mission as much as possible. Our intermediary portal plays an important role in this.”

Robert Horsmans, Business Strategist & Director PAQT.com: “With the launch of Vitru we demonstrate the power of a tech partnership. We meet the most stringent requirements and standards, and enable Vitru to immediately take a leading and innovative position as a new player. With a keen eye for the users’ needs.”

About Vitru

Vitru is a new financing label for commercial real estate financing via the intermediary channel. It is an addition to Rabobank’s tailor-made solutions, a standardized product with clear, transparent conditions. Vitru is an abbreviation of Vitruvius, a Roman architect who used three basic principles: venustas (beauty), firmitas (strength) and utilitas (user-friendliness). These align well with Vitru’s long-term mission. For example, the better the energy label, the lower the interest. In addition to sustainability, Vitru attaches great importance to the quality of the property and good rental conditions. Therefore, an additional interest rate discount is possible for frontrunners in good landlordism.
