You want more fun? Here is the Portuguese Central Bank, some time ago, mandating all banks to apply negative rates to their mortgages within 10 days, in case the corresponding Euribor happens to be negative.

These mortages have been available in NL and DK as well ( I had one in NL ).

My mortage did not pay me yet, but the negative rate was eating into the markup ( ~1% ). So for years I had a mortage with about 0.5% interest. I know of DK people actually got money out of their mortage.
