Refinancing your mortgage

Tap your home's equity to finance a large purchase

What is mortgage refinancing?

Refinancing your mortgage means borrowing based on the net worth of your home—the difference between its current market value and the remaining balance on your mortgage.

By refinancing your home, you can borrow up to 80% of its estimated value and enjoy a new source of credit to finance your projects.

Perfect if you are looking to:

Renovate your home
Buy a second home, car or other big-ticket item
Help finance your child's education

For a limited time:

Transfer your mortgage and receive cashback

Is your mortgage with another bank?
Request a transfer with or without refinancing and you could receive up to $3,000 cashback.

3 ways to refinance your mortgage

Opt for a home equity line of credit

You can convert your mortgage into an All-In-One™ line of credit. You'll be able to access the funds you repay,¹ so you won't have to resubmit an application every time you need more credit.

We also offer one of the lowest interest rates on the market, so why not consolidate your debt (like credit card balances) and save on interest?

Choose a fixed or variable rate

Applying for refinancing is a good time to take stock of your finances. If you opt for a mortgage loan¹ and want to protect yourself against interest rate fluctuations, choose a fixed-rate loan. This guarantees your rate throughout the term and allows you to make equal monthly payments to simplify your budgeting.

If you've got some leeway in your budget, why not opt for a variable rate—you could save on interest if rates drop.

Leveraging your home's equity

With a revolving mortgage, you're free to use any available credit for your financial needs,² without paying legal fees. It's like getting a personal loan, but at a much lower rate.

You decide the amortization period and term of each portion used and also have the option of repaying the loan without prepayment charge. Contact an advisor to learn more.

Refinancing for renovations

Refinancing lets you take advantage of the low interest rates on your mortgage. You can access additional funds by simply adding them to your mortgage. The amount depends on the value of your home. This can be a great option, whether you're planning on a bunch of small upgrades or one large renovation project.
