The Annual Percentage Rate (APR) you receive will be based on creditworthiness, loan to value amount, and loan term. Not all members will qualify for the best or lowest rate. All loans are subject to approval. Rates, terms, and conditions are subject to change.
Auto-pay Advantage: A discount of 0.25% will be deducted from the above stated annual percentage rates when the payment is received automatically from a Fortera draft account. This discount is only available on new loan transactions with an effective date on or after the date of this addendum. The annual percentage rate will default back to the normal rate in the event the payment status or draft account status changes.
Rapid Refi Loan Payment Example: For a $150,000 loan for a term of 15 years with a 8.24% APR, the monthly payment will be $1,453.23.
