Bring Home the Savings with a Mortgage Refinance

The peace of mind that comes with a lower mortgage payment is something you deserve. If you currently have your mortgage with another lender, we would like to show you how much we could potentially help you save. Instead of paying extra interest, you can put more into savings and help reinforce your family budget.

It only takes three easy steps to get started saving:

• Visit our mortgage page on NeighborsCU.org

• Calculate your savings with our refinance calculator

• Apply online or in-branch to start saving7

We invite you to make the switch and refinance your mortgage with us. No matter which loan option you choose, our experienced loan officers will work with you every step of the way to not only to help you take advantage of our currently low interest rates, but to also to give you peace of mind.7Rates are fixed or variable, based on your final loan amount and finance charges. The actual interest rate and fees available to you will be based on your credit history, property type, loan to value, and may be different than the rates displayed here. Please contact a loan officer for current rates and fees. Rates are subject to change without notice. Additional rates and terms may be available. Mortgages available in Missouri and Illinois only. The above example APR’s are based on owner-occupied, one-unit, single family primary residences. Membership eligibility required. Restrictions apply. Please call 314-892-5400, ext. 11095, for details on all products. Fixed Mortgages: Minimum down payment of 5% (or 3% for Fannie Mae Homeready Mortgage) required. For example, a $250,000 purchase price with 20% down payment and $200,000 financed is the example used for the APR above. Minimum loan amount of $50,000 required. The interest rates used in the foregoing examples are based on current market rates reflecting 20% equity and a 740 credit score, are for purposes of example only and are not meant to be relied upon. This is not a credit decision or a commitment to lend. Depending on loan guidelines, mortgage insurance may be required. If mortgage insurance is required, the mortgage insurance premium could increase the annual percentage rate (“APR”) and the monthly mortgage payment. APR reflects the effective cost of your loan on a yearly basis, taking into account such items as interest, most closing costs, mortgage insurance, discount points (also referred to as “points”) and loan-origination fees. Membership eligibility required. Restrictions apply. Visit NeighborsCU.org for full details. Neighbors Credit Union Mortgage Services NMLS #509288

We Care about our Communities Earlier this summer, Neighbors employees were excited to give back to the community with donations of time and funds.

In May, Neighbors Credit Union sponsored a lunch for the St. Louis County Library’s Free Lunch program. Partnering with Operation Food Search, 450 meals were distributed to needy families at the Florissant Valley, Lewis & Clark and Weber Road branches.

In June, we donated to the Urban League of Metropolitan St. Louis to assist with their education, empowerment and community service efforts.

Thank you to our Neighbors employees and members for your continued dedication to serve our communities.
