Fixed rate mortgages*

On approved credit, rates are subject to change without notice. Quoted rates are based on blended payments of principal and interest. Interest is calculated half-yearly, not in advance. Additional premiums may apply in cases of a refinance, amortizations greater than 25 years, non-owner occupied, or other instances where application details may warrant it. The interest rate with variable rate mortgages will fluctuate with motusbank Prime Rate, which is currently 5.95%.

Long term non-redeemable GICs

Redemption is only permitted within the first 30 days and no interest is payable. Early redemption prior to maturity is not permitted after the first 30 days.
