We call it 20/20 prepayment. Pay off up to 20% more of your mortgage each calendar year through a combination of prepaying more of your original principal balance and increasing your original mortgage payment.
Skip a payment
Life happens. Breathe easier knowing that you can skip one month’s mortgage payment once every 12 months with no penalty.
Payment flexibility
Choose from weekly, bi-weekly, monthly, bi-monthly, or accelerated weekly or bi-weekly payment plans - whatever works for you.
Borrow up to 80% of your home's value
Use it for anything - home renovations, investments, or even as an alternative to refinancing.
No need to re-apply
As you pay off your mortgage your limit increases.
Increased access to credit over time
As you pay off your mortgage, you can automatically access more credit.
Mortgage protection
Take advantage of Group Mortgage Protection (GMP) - a monthly premium that helps safeguard your home in case of financial hardships as a result of conditions such as death, disability, critical illness or loss of employment.
This creditor group insurance coverage is optional and is underwritten by The Canada Life Assurance Company (Canada Life). Supporting services, such as enrollment intake, medical underwriting and claims administration are provided by the employees of Canada Life. Coverage is governed by the terms and conditions of the creditor group insurance policy issued to the creditor and is subject to terms, conditions, exclusions and eligibility requirements. See the Certificate of Insurance for full coverage details.
How it works
Around here, accessing credit is simple
1
Add a home equity line of credit to your mortgage
2
As you pay down your mortgage, the limit on your line of credit increases
3
The increased credit is made available to you monthly
Do the math
Home value ($600,000) x 80% = Line of credit ($480,000)
| Mortgage balance | Available line of credit | |
|---|---|---|
| Start | $600,000 | $0 |
| Year 10 | $300,000 | $180,000 |
| Year 15 | $291,280 | $188,720 |
| Year 25 | $0 | $480,000 |
