Mortgage Loans
The Credit Union offers a variety of mortgage loan products to meet the diverse needs of our members including both balloon loans and fixed rate mortgages.

Our in-house balloon loans have a fixed rate for a 6, 8 or 10 year term, no points and up-front costs that are less than 1/2 of what you may pay elsewhere. Our fixed rate mortgages offer 10, 15, 20 and 30 year terms with low rates and the added security of knowing your payments won’t change no matter how rates fluctuate. Looking to refinance? We do that too! At 1st Gateway, it is possible to refinance your current home loan with NO money out of your pocket.
