Fixed-Rate Mortgage FAQ

  • What rate will I get?
    The APR for your fixed-rate mortgage will be based on a number of factors, including your credit score, loan term, property type, and transaction type.
  • Which loan term is right for me?

    Different terms bring different rewards. At JHFCU, you can choose from 10, 15, 20, and 30-year fixed-rate mortgage terms. The most popular mortgage in the U.S. is a 30-year fixed-rate loan! Shorter terms mean you'll get a lower rate and pay off your loan sooner, but your monthly payment will be higher. Longer terms mean you'll get a slightly higher rate and pay more total interest over the life of the loan, but your monthly payment will be more affordable. You can talk to one of our experienced loan officers to find the right term for you.

  • Will my rate ever change?

    Your rate will change only if you choose to refinance your mortgage. Refinancing is a popular tool you can use to negotiate a lower rate or to change your loan term so you can get a higher or lower monthly payment. You may consider refinancing if market interest rates fall below the rate you got when you took out your loan or your credit score significantly improves so you may qualify for a lower rate.

  • How can I make my loan payments each month?

    There are many options for making a payment to your JHFCU fixed-rate mortgage:

    Online Transfer: Set up a recurring transfer or make a one-time transfer online from your checking, savings, or another transactional account to your mortgage account. Payments are credited and account balances are updated immediately.  

    JHFCU TeleBranch 24: Transfer your payment from a JHFCU account to your mortgage; just use your loan suffix number (EX: XXXXXXXXX-XX.)

    Pay Online from an Outside Bank: Set up JHFCU as a payee using your 9-digit JHFCU Account number - 2-digit loan suffix number (EX: XXXXXXXXX-XX.) 

    Pay by Check at a Branch or via Mail

    Pay by Transfer In-Person

    NOTE: When setting up Online Bill Payment from an outside account, use JHFCU’s main address, 2027 E Monument St, Baltimore, MD 21205
