Basic features An ASP loan is part of the ASP system, intended for buying your first home. You are entitled to an ASP loan if you have opened an ASP account and accumulated money for your first home according to plan. When you buy the home and the terms of the ASP savings agreement are met, you get a state guarantee for the home loan, the basic interest rate of 1% from Danske Bank and an interest bonus of 4% for your savings on that part of the deposit which corresponds to 10% of the purchase or acquisition price of the home.Read more about the ASP account and its terms: ASP account
