GAP Insurance Info: Guaranteed Asset Protection (GAP) is a voluntary program that we offer for your new or used vehicle loan. This financial protection covers the difference in the balance on a car and its declared value, as determined by your primary insurance carrier, in the event that it is damaged beyond repair or stolen and never recovered.

Fixed-Rate Mortgages
This type of loan keeps the same interest rate throughout the repayment period. Market changes will not affect your rate or payment. Insurance and taxes are the only variables that may affect your payment.

Adjustable-Rate Mortgages
This type of loan has an interest rate that may vary. The initial rate is typically lower than standard fixed rates, giving you lower payments and increasing your purchasing power. We offer adjustable-rate mortgages with a one-year step after the initial three, five or seven year term. The steps do have caps and there is a maximum rate for each type of adjustable-rate mortgage.

This type of loan is for any home purchase expected to be greater than $417,000.
