Loan Products
Conventional
A conventional mortgage refers to any loan that is not insured or guaranteed by the federal government, as opposed to government-insured loans, like Federal Housing Administration (FHA), U.S. Department of Veteran Affairs (VA), and U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) loans.
Conventional mortgages (whether conforming or not) typically have a slightly higher down payment than government loans, but this loan option can provide more flexibility with fewer restrictions.
​
If you have good credit and stable income, a conventional loan might be the right option for you.

Adjustable-Rate
​An adjustable-rate mortgage (ARM) is a loan term option with interest rates that can change periodically after the initial fixed-rate period. After this introductory period, monthly payments are susceptible to increases or decreases based on market fluctuations, which can also affect the monthly payment. An ARM could be the right choice for you if you plan on staying in your home for just a few years, you’re expecting a future pay increase, or the current interest rate on a fixed-rate mortgage is too high.
Rate noted is for a 5/6 adjustable-rate mortgage (ARM) product; 5/6, 7/6, and 10/6 ARM products available. Variable rate may increase after account opening. 5/6 ARM product is a fixed rate for an initial five-year period; following the initial five-year period, the applicable interest rate and monthly payment will adjust every six months. Variable rate adjusts based on the 30-day average Secured Overnight Financing Rate (SOFR) as published by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, plus a margin of 2.75%. Minimum APR is 2.75%, maximum APR is 5% over original contracted rate. Canvas Credit Union NMLS# 410592. Equal Housing Opportunity. Insured by NCUA.
