    100% Financing - Lender Update

    October-15-Mortgage-Deadline The following lenders are still doing 100% financing and 40-year amortizations (as far as we know):

    • Abode
    • ATB 
    • Bridgewater
    • HSBC 
    • Merix
    • Street Capital 
    • Xceed

    There may be others so if we forgot one please email us!

    100% financing will be ending at these remaining lenders any day now--in advance of the government's new rules coming October 15.  The exceptions are the alternative lenders:

    • Wells Fargo, which will continue offering self-insured 100% financing (640+ minimum credit score)
    • Citi Financial, which offers 100% self-insured refinances (610+ minimum credit score)

    I got an e-mail from Merix earlier saying they will end their 100% financing and 40 year amortization on October 3rd

    For brokers in Alberta- ATB will do 100% financing and 40 year amortizations until Oct. 14th.

    Thanks Nelson,

    Just added HSBC and Street Capital to the list as well...

    Cheers,
    Rob
