Curious what’s behind each offer door?

  • Help with cash flow: A little extra cash can help with closing costs, debt repayment or saving for that next tropical vacation.
  • Renos, decor, house splurges: Why not use the bonus cash for that couch you’ve been eyeing?
  • We love a good investment strategy: Invest the cash into something that might be able to earn a higher return.
  • Give your credit card some rest: Make a payment towards some high interest debt like a credit card.
  • Lump-sum mortgage payment: Pay down your mortgage to reduce your interest costs.

  • Lower your cost of borrowing: Lower interest rates over the life of a loan can contribute to significant savings.
  • Financial flexibility: If you’re paying lower monthly payments that frees up your cash flow to invest elsewhere or for that weekly grocery run.
  • Fast track to equity: A lower interest rate can help you build up your equity faster because a larger portion of your monthly payment goes towards the principal instead of interest.

The difference between a high ratio and conventional mortgage lies in the down payment amount and the requirement for mortgage default insurance.

A high ratio mortgage requires a down payment of less than 20% of the home's purchase price (between 5% and 19.99%). In Canada, it's mandatory to purchase mortgage default insurance for high ratio mortgages.

A conventional mortgage requires a down payment of 20% or more of the home's purchase price. Mortgage default insurance is not typical for conventional mortgages.

An ATB Residential Mortgage provides flexible terms from 6 months to 7 years, with both fixed and variable rate options. You can make lump sum payments and increase payments of up to 20% of the original mortgage amount per year. With this mortgage, you have the ability to skip payments and refinance.

An ATB Rate First Residential Mortgage is our lowest rate mortgage, for a 5-year fixed term. You can make lump sum payments and increase payments of up to 10% of the original mortgage amount per year. With this mortgage, skipped payments and refinancings are not offered.
