Refinancing

An easy way to save money is to stay put and refinance your home with a lower rate.

  • Save on interest charges if rates have dropped
  • Make loan adjustments based on an improved credit score
  • Switch from an adjustable-rate mortgage to a more predictable fixed interest rate
  • We will do a one-time rate modification with a lower rate and no closing costs.*
*For new mortgage loans only.

Home Equity Loans and Lines of Credit

The possibilities are endless.  Home equity funds are often used to consolidate debt, add rooms, upgrade a kitchen, or put in a pool. You don't have to just focus on remodeling. The money can be used for tuition, a vacation, launch a new business, or chase down another dream.

  • Choose between lump sum loans or revolving credit lines
  • Competitive rates and closing costs
  • Loan amounts depend on your home's equity - the difference between its market value and your current mortgage balance
  • Easily access credit lines through online and mobile banking and at Five Star financial centers
    Home Equity funds are often used to pay down higher interest loans or credit card balances
