Master credit limit for maximum flexibility

The UBS Corporate Financing master credit limit gives you maximum flexibility to finance your current and fixed assets.

The UBS Corporate Financing master credit limit lets you combine your current and fixed asset financing needs under a single master credit agreement. You get maximum flexibility thanks to various credit usage options to meet your financing needs.

Once the credit documents have been signed and all the conditions for credit approval have been met, we will issue the credit limit, which will then be at your disposal.

If you want to use the credit as quickly and flexibly as possible, choose overdraft usage, fixed advances or floating rate loans with short terms.
Fixed-rate loans are recommended if you prefer long-term, fixed-interest forms of financing.

You can freely determine the financing structure. The following uses are permitted within the master credit limit:

  • UBS Current Account
  • UBS Fixed Advance with terms from 1–12 months*
  • UBS Floating Rate Loan
