Payment Options
We offer payment options to fit every budget. You can save thousands of dollars in interest and pay your mortgage off sooner by simply increasing the frequency of your mortgage payments.
In most cases, choices can include:
- Monthly
- Semi-monthly
- Accelerated bi-weekly
- Accelerated weekly
Use our payment calculator to discover which option best fits your needs.
Selecting an Amortization Period
In many cases, you can select an amortization period of up to 30 years. Although a 25-year amortization period is a common choice, it’s not your only choice. A shorter amortization period can save you interest costs.
Prepayment Privileges
Use our payment calculator to see how our prepayment privileges can save you money over the life of your mortgage.
Double-up payments: Pay twice your regular mortgage payment on any payment date. This surplus is applied directly against the principal balance of your mortgage and saves interest costs.
Increase payments by 15%: Once each calendar year, you can increase your regular mortgage payment by up to 15%. This saves you interest and helps you build up home equity faster.
Annual payment: Pay up to 15% of the original principal balance in a lump sum, once annually.
