Traditional loans

A traditional mortgage loan can be used for buying, remodeling, or refinancing a home. Choose among a variety of options, from ARMs (adjustable rate mortgages) to 30-year fixed rates.

Fixed rate

For a fixed rate mortgage, the interest rate remains the same throughout the loan term. That means the principal and interest payment will not change.

Adjustable rate

An adjustable rate mortgage gives you the opportunity to lock in a lower interest rate for a three-, five-, seven-, ten-, or fifteen-year period. Your monthly payment remains the same for the term selected.
