How we can make your first mortgage work for you.

Not all mortgage pre-approvals are created equal

At ATB we do a little extra work up front so you can be extra confident in the amount that we pre-approve you for when you’re house hunting.

Repay your way

Increase regular payments by up to 20%1 per year and/or prepay up to 20%1 of your original mortgage amount per year on fixed mortgages. With Loan Protection, you may be able to have payments covered in the event of death or disability.

Frequently Asked Questions

Unfortunately, not. Once you have a down payment of at least 5%, you may qualify for an Insured Mortgage, but 5% is the minimum we can accept.

That’s two FAQs but we’ll address them both here in the difference between pre-qualification and pre-approval.
