Great if

You're comfortable with a variable rate and want to take advantage of potential rate decreases during your term.

Key features.

Variable interest rate, fixed payments.

When the variable rate goes down, more of your payment goes towards the principle. When the variable rate goes up, less of your payment goes toward the principle. To maintain your amortization schedule, we recommend you increase your payments when the variable rate increases.

Financial flexibility.

A re-advanceable feature allows you to diversify your interest rate risk by splitting your mortgage into Homeprime (variable rate) and fixed-rate components.

More to love about this mortgage.

Choice of payment frequency

Make payments weekly, bi-weekly, monthly, semi-monthly, accelerated weekly or accelerated bi-weekly. Paying more frequently will save you interest and shorten the time it takes to pay off your mortgage.

Options to prepay

Get some repayment flexibility, with options to prepay up to 20% of your original balance once per mortgage year and increase payments by up to 20% once per mortgage year.

Bring this mortgage with you if you move

When you buy a new home, you can transfer this mortgage to your new property and keep the same terms and conditions, including the interest rate.

Ability to assign the mortgage to another party

Transfer your mortgage with the original rates and terms to someone else. If you’re selling your home, this can give you a market advantage if current rates are higher than when you first took on your mortgage.
