SuMi TRUST Bank provides information about housing that matches the needs of senior generation clients and supports them in securing stable housing using the Group’s array of functions. Moreover, in our digest report for seniors (Considering Senior-Generation Housing- V4.0), we go into more detail about the following three options.

Our Lineup of Products and Services That Provide Housing Assistance to Seniors

Renovation Loans

Sumitomo Mitsui Trust Panasonic Finance offers renovation loans that provide the funds necessary to make such renovations as barrier-free improvements as a way to support elderly clients to live comfortably in their old age.

Housing Assistance Loans for Seniors

SuMi TRUST Bank offers clients aged 60 years or older a housing assistance loan that can be used to purchase a home. This product helps clients reconsider their living arrangements in order to prolong their healthy life expectancy. For example, by renovating their current dwelling to make it barrier free, or moving to a more user-friendly house that is also closer to their children.
