FAQs

Our mortgage Process

After you submit your mortgage application, a PSECU mortgage specialist will review your application. We’ll answer any questions you may have and, if qualified, provide you with a preapproval letter if you’re purchasing a home. The preapproval letter lets you know exactly how much house you can afford and helps you make a strong bid to the seller.

Once you find the right house and go under contract, we can move forward in the loan process. At this time, you provide more detailed financial information. Through the process, our underwriters will carefully review your loan. After closing, we’ll service your loan through the life of your mortgage.

If you are choosing to refinance your mortgage with PSECU, the process is very similar, except you won’t receive a preapproval letter.
On average, it takes 45 - 60 days from application date to closing date.

We offer jumbo 1-year Adjustable Rate Mortgages (ARMs) of $484,351 to $1 million at a low start rate.

Caps are 1/5, which means your interest rate will not adjust more than 1% up or down per year. The rate will adjust no more than 5% up or down over the life of the loan. Contact us to discuss your specific situation.

Our jumbo loans have a few qualifications. The property must be:

Located in Pennsylvania
1- to 4-unit dwelling
Primarily used by the borrower (not an investment property)
Titled in the name(s) of individual(s). Living trusts are not acceptable.

We lend to properties that are:

Located in the state of Pennsylvania
Recorded with PSECU listed as first lien holder. The property secures your mortgage loan.
Titled after purchase in the name(s) of individual(s), not a trust
Owner-occupied homes, vacation homes, or residential investment properties with one, two, three, or four units
Condominiums or residences within a Planned Unit Development (PUD) that meet certain criteria. Please contact our Mortgage Consultants for more information.

We do not lend to properties that are:

Single-wide manufactured homes
Timeshares
Not in acceptable marketable condition
Residential investment condo or manufactured homes
Located outside Pennsylvania

Fixed Rate:
When applying online, you will have an opportunity to lock your interest rate. If you choose to let the rate float, the interest rate will not be locked until you notify us that you want to lock it. Some mortgage products require the assistance of PSECU staff. If that's the case with your mortgage application, you'll have the opportunity to lock your rate when you speak with us. We do not offer rate locks on Pre-Approval applications.

Adjustable Rate:
You will receive the lowest rate in effect from the time of application up to the time of approval.

You may request to waive an escrow account if the loan-to-value (LTV) is 80% or lower, taxes and insurance have been paid timely in the past, and you have the ability to pay them on your own.

Mortgage Definitions

The loan-to-value (LTV) ratio is the loan amount displayed as a percentage of a property’s market value. Maximums vary by property type. You don’t have to borrow the maximum LTV, but the guidelines tell you your borrowing limit.

Fixed-rate mortgages have a fixed interest rate for the life of the loan. The monthly payment for principal and interest on a fixed-rate loan stays the same every month for the term of the loan.

You have the option to buy down the interest rate by paying discount points upfront. You can choose to lock in your interest rate once you’ve signed a sales agreement, or wait until closer to closing.

Our Adjustable Rate Mortgage (ARM) products offer a competitive starting rate that's fixed for the first year of the loan.

Each point is equal to one percent of the loan amount. Please check out the rate tables for interest rates and points available for our mortgage products.

Private Mortgage Insurance (PMI) is generally required for loans with a loan to value (LTV) greater than 80%. This coverage helps protect the lender in case you can't make your payments and default on the loan. PMI makes it possible for borrowers with small down payments to buy a home.
