How do I make an application for an adjustable-rate mortgage with SCCU?

You may apply online or connect to us.

An adjustable-rate mortgage-also referred to as an ARM or variable rate mortgage-is a mortgage that has a rate of interest that can go up or down at defined time periods. Typically, an ARM starts with an interest rate that's lower than the rates of interest on a comparable fixed-rate mortgage for a specified period. When that time duration expires, the rate of interest may alter, which might alter the quantity of your month-to-month payment.

At SCCU, we use a range of ARMs to suit our members' needs, consisting of options that provide rate modification after 5, 7, or 10 years22. For instance, a 5/1 ARM has a set rates of interest for the first 5 years of the loan. After the initial five-year period, the rate of interest and payment may change every 12 months. The rate of interest can't increase or reduce more than 2 percent at one modification and can't increase more than 5 percent over the life of the loan. To read more, please reach out to us.
