Conventional Mortgages
A Rate and Payment That Sticks
Let’s keep it simple. With a fixed-rate mortgage, your interest rate and monthly payment never change whether you sign for a 10, 15, 20 or 30-year term.
As simple as a loan can get
If you plan to stay in the same house for awhile or you’re just looking for a consistent payment, a conventional fixed-rate mortgage may be your perfect fit.
Your mortgage rate stays the same
Flexible terms from 10 to 30 years
Down payments as little as 3% for qualified borrowers
Available for different property types
There are two types of Conventional Fixed Rate Loans.
PenAir Credit Union offers both Conforming and Non-Conforming loans.
Conforming Loans
A Conforming loan means the loan meets guidelines set by Federal National Mortgage Association (Fannie Mae) and the Federal Home Loan Corporation (Freddie Mac).
Non-Conforming Loans
Non-Conforming loans can include jumbo loans, portfolio loans or any other loan that doesn’t meet Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac guidelines.

Apply for your loan

Provide supporting documents
We provide secure online and offline options to send required documents to our underwriters. We know this is the boring part, but our Mortgage Team will make it as easy as possible.
Get your pre-approval
This step lets you know what your approvable purchase and finance amount is, the rate and potential monthly payment for that amount. Let the house hunt begin.
Lock in your rate and get final approval
If you are refinancing, this step can take place right after pre-approval. For a home purchase, the loan will move toward closing once you have had an offer accepted and the property details are submitted to our team.
Review final loan documents
Once we have the required property information in hand and other document requirements have been met, we can generate the final loan documents for review before setting a closing date.
Close on your new home
Now for the fun part. Once a closing date is set, loan documents will be delivered to the closing agent for signing and financial transactions will be coordinated to complete the process. And just like that — you’re home.
