WHAT IS A MONOLINE LENDER?
You don’t have to go with a big bank.
There are many lenders available to help finance your home and every one has different terms and conditions. Sometimes it feels like we don’t have a choice and have to just take what the banks give us. You do have a choice though, but you won’t hear it from your bank! One such option is a Monoline Lender.
Let’s talk about why a Monoline Lender might be the best choice for you.
As mortgage requirements are unique to each client, we assess the circumstances of each client and as a result we may recommend a Monoline Lender.
Mortgages from Monoline Lenders have a number of advantages for some borrowers including:
- Monoline Lenders focus on just mortgages.
- Monoline lenders are not going to solicit you to open a chequing or savings account, buy RRSPs and RESPs, apply for a credit card, buy insurance, or any other manner of business banks deal in.
- Monoline lenders don’t have storefronts, so they save costs and pass them on.
- Monoline lenders follow the same rules as all Canadian banks so you’re protected.
- Monoline lenders deal only with mortgage brokers on the clients’ behalf.
- Monoline lenders bulk insure their mortgages through mortgage insurance providers therefore can often be more flexible with their lending.
- Monoline lenders do not register a collateral charge on the property meaning that you can transfer your mortgage at renewal to a new lender of your choice.
- Monoline lenders offer better interest rates and a lower penalty should you need to pay off your mortgage before the end of your term.
- Monoline Lenders will often provide mortgages when the big banks won’t. If you’re self-employed, a property investor, you want to buy through a company or you’re just a regular borrower, Monoline Lenders offer more flexibility.
Overall, Monoline Lenders offer a better option than the big banks. Just look at the posted rates for fixed term mortgages.
