MWBank Mortgage Options

15- and 30- Year Fixed Rate 

Considered the most traditional method for financing a home, the fixed rate mortgage offers the same interest rate for the life of the loan. With this loan, the monthly payment remains stable, regardless of rate changes in the financial market.

Adjustable Rate (ARM) 

With an adjustable rate mortgage, the interest rate is linked to a financial index, such as the one-year Treasury Bill or the prime rate, so your monthly payment and interest can vary from month to month. ARMs offer lower rates at the beginning of the loan term, but rates are then adjusted to the index. This is a good option if the current fixed rate is high, if the buyer knows their income will increase over time, or if they do not plan to own the home for a long period of time.

WHEDA HOME Loan 

The Wisconsin Housing and Economic Development Authority offers a HOME loan program designed for first-time homebuyers who may not qualify for conventional loans because of income or low down payment. HOME features low down payments and below-market interest rates. Contact our mortgage department to see if you qualify.

Portfolio Lending 

Recognizing that sometimes a potential homebuyer's unique situation does not qualify them for conventional mortgage loans, MWBank offers portfolio lending to create a loan that matches the customer's needs. Using an expanded set of underwriting qualifications, we handle each case on an individual basis to help the homebuyer realize their home purchase. Our mortgage experts will help you decide which type of mortgage is right for you.

VA Loans Federal and State 

Veteran's Administration loans are available to qualified armed forces, active military personnel, veterans or their widows.
