Advice for Getting a Down Payment

The size of a down payment on a home is the most important factor in determining your monthly payment.

Accumulating a Down Payment on a Home: A Homebuyer How-To

Unlike interest rates, property taxes and insurance rates, you decide how much you borrow and therefore how large your monthly mortgage payments will be.

Estimating your mortgage payments

Here is a chart showing monthly payment levels for different amounts at different interest rates. It reflects using a 30-year fixed mortgage. Payments with a 15-year mortgage will be higher, but you will pay off the mortgage sooner and pay much less interest over the life of the mortgage.

Monthly Mortgage Payments at different interest rates (30-year fixed rate mortgage)
Mortgage amounts	3.25%	3.50%	3.75%	4%	4.5%	5%
$50,000	$217.60	$224.52	$231.56	$238.70	$253.34	$268.41
$75,000	$326.40	$336.78	$347.33	$358.06	$380.01	$402.62
$100,000	$435.20	$449.04	$463.12	$477.41	$506.69	$536.82
$150,000	$652.81	$673.57	$694.67	$716.12	$760.03	$805.23
$200,000	$870.41	$898.09	$926.24	$954.83	$1,013.37	$1,073.64

If you are looking at mortgages of different levels, you can use the chart to estimate or use a mortgage payment calculator on the Internet to find a more exact answer. Accumulating a down payment Most lenders require certain levels of down payments (often 3% to 25%) to consider you for a mortgage. The larger the down payment, the more comfortable they will probably be giving you the mortgage. But it may be nice to have some extra money available after you move into your new home. New carpeting, new furniture and landscaping all take money.

Here are some ideas to consider:

Save. Most people save for a couple of years to accumulate a down payment. This may mean less or cheaper entertainment or less dining out. One way to save is with an automatic savings plan at your financial institution. Have a certain amount transferred from your checking account to a dedicated savings account each month. It’s easy to schedule automatic transfers with Online Banking.
Borrow the down payment from your retirement plan. Many company-sponsored 401(k) or profit sharing plans have provisions to let you do this. Check the details of your plan.
Move. Live in a cheaper apartment while you accumulate your down payment. If you are just starting out or are considering changing jobs, consider an area with a lower cost of living.
Reduce other high interest rate debt. Paying off credit cards will take some of your savings, but you will not be paying the high rates usually found with credit cards.
Sell some of your investments. Selling boats, toys, and collectibles can add up. It’s also important to get and retain a bill of sale.
Get a second job and save your earnings.
Skip a year's vacation.
Borrow from your parents. Many parents are willing, or even anxious, to help their children with the purchase of a first home. Be respectful of their generosity.

Conclusion

Buying a home, especially a first home, is a big financial and emotional step. Do your financial homework. Investigate your mortgage options. Determine what level of monthly mortgage payments will be affordable and comfortable. Use some discipline to save your down payment. It is also a good idea to meet with your North Shore Bank Mortgage Professional who can help answer your questions and guide you every step of the way.

Additional information:

Current Balance, also known as Account Balance or Ledger Balance, means the funds in your account, including deposits and withdrawals made to date. Not all your transactions will be immediately reflected. As a result, only part of this balance may be available for withdrawal. The Current Balance does not include checks or payments, including debit card transactions, that you have initiated but have not yet cleared your account.

Available Balance means the amount of money that can be withdrawn at a point in time. The Available Balance will be less than the Current Balance when there are pending transactions such as:

Funds held from deposits: These funds have been deposited, but are not yet fully available for withdrawal or transfer.
Funds held for debit card authorizations: This reflects merchant-authorized requests for payment, when the final charge has not been submitted by the merchant. ATM and PIN-based debit card transactions usually post the same business day and other everyday signature-based debit card transactions usually post within 4 business days. This means that your available balance may not accurately reflect pending debit card authorizations until the transaction is received by us and paid from your account (i.e., posted). Even though we may increase your Available Balance when a merchant does not submit the transaction for payment in a timely manner, the obligation to the merchant still applies.
Any other holds on funds in your account.

The Available Balance does not reflect every transaction you have initiated or previously authorized. Items that may not be reflected in your Available Balance include, but are not limited to:

Outstanding checks and authorized automatic withdrawals (such as recurring debit card transactions, transfers, and ACH transactions that we have not received for payment or processing).
The final amount of a debit card purchase. For example, we may authorize a purchase amount from a gas station, but the authorized amount may be different from the final charge.
Scheduled bill payments or other direct payments to other people that have not yet been processed.
Debit card transactions that have been previously authorized but not sent to us for payment from your account where we have released the transaction authorization hold and the transaction is sent for payment from your account at a later date.

North Shore Bank authorizes and pays transactions using the Available Balance in your account. If you have Standard Coverage, the Available Balance for checks, ACH items, and recurring debit card transactions includes the amount of the Overdraft Privilege limit and any available Overdraft Protection. The Available Balance for ATM and everyday debit card transactions on accounts includes any available Overdraft Protection, but does NOT include the Overdraft Privilege Limit. For accounts with Extended Coverage, the Overdraft Privilege Limit is included in the Available Balance for authorizing ATM and everyday debit card transactions.

An easy way to keep track of your transaction history is to enroll in Online Banking or the Mobile App if you are not already enrolled.

Your 8 or 10-digit account number can be found by clicking on the “eye” near your shortened account number in our Mobile App and within Online Banking. You can also find your account number on your paper statements, eStatements, on the bottom of your checks (the second set of numbers), or you can visit a neighborhood North Shore Bank office.

Greenlight is bigger than a debit card, and it was built with families in mind.

Yes, it’s a debit card for kids, managed by parents. But it’s also a powerful mobile app that lets parents easily manage and see where, when, and how much kids spend while helping them learn to manage their money.

It’s three different accounts in one – Spend, Save, and Give. A digital chore board. A saving-motivation machine. A set of flexible parental controls you won’t get from most banks. And a simple, clear view of your child’s financial world, complete with real-time transaction alerts. All in one app.

Greenlight lets parents:

Transfer money instantly to kids
Turn the card off via the app, if needed
Receive alerts whenever the card is used
Set store-level spend controls to help kids learn to budget
Automate allowance payments
Manage chores (and instantly reward a job well done)

Yes! As soon as your cards have been activated, your kids can add their Greenlight card details to Apple Pay or Google Pay* to tap and pay in an instant.

*Subject to Apple Pay and Google Pay age requirements.

Within the Greenlight app, kids can receive money from friends and family – with parent approval on every payment. In the app, your kids have their own pay link that they can share with trusted friends and family to receive money for IOUs, birthdays, you name it.

Your Greenlight cards should arrive within 7-10 business days with free standard shipping. You can always track your card’s shipping status right from your Greenlight app to see when your card is estimated to arrive.

If you would like your card sooner, Greenlight offers expedited shipping for an additional charge. It can be requested by calling customer service at 888-483-2645 within 12 hours of ordering your card or signing up.

The Greenlight debit card can be used almost anywhere Mastercard is accepted, online and in-store. “Almost,” because our cardholders are kids, and so there are important guardrails in place. Greenlight also works internationally in 150+ other countries, with no foreign transaction fees. No need to let us know if you travel abroad – you’ll have enough to remember.

Please contact Greenlight Customer service by calling 888-483-2645 or texting 404-974-3024 and inform them you would like to be added to the North Shore Bank partnership program.

The Greenlight debit cards are FDIC-insured up to $250,000 and come with Mastercard’s Zero Liability Protection. Greenlight blocks “unsafe” spending categories, sends real-time transaction notifications, lets parents turn cards off at any time, and gives parents flexible ATM and spending controls.

Bank Account
If you are prompted to verify your North Shore Bank Account when manually adding your funding source, you will receive 2 small deposits of $1.00 or less in your personal checking account within 1-2 business days. To verify your checking account as a funding source, you will need to input the 2 micro deposit amounts into your Greenlight app when prompted to verify. If you do not see these deposits within 3 business days, please contact North Shore Bank directly and have them take a look at the status of your checking account. Once you complete verification, the 2 micro deposits will be removed from your checking account to offset the deposit amounts.

Debit Card
Once you add your North Shore Bank debit card as a funding source and make your initial funding load, you should see 2 transactions on your debit card that add up to the initial load amount. You will need to confirm these transactions within 3 business days in the Greenlight app to verify your debit card. If you do not see these transactions within 4 business days, please contact North Shore Bank directly and have them take a look at the status of your checking account.

Once you request to receive eBills from a business, you will no longer receive a paper bill. However you can print a paper copy of any eBill, if you prefer.

No, you will not be charged a fee for making a payment through the online loan payment service.

This is an invitation for you to explore the convenience and benefits of receiving your bill at the same place where you currently pay your bill. During this introduction you will be provided with an electronic bill while continuing to receive a paper bill. If you like the convenience of electronic billing you can decide to stop receiving paper bills.

Most businesses use the same billing cycle as mailed bills, so you can expect to receive your bill at approximately the same time of the month that you currently receive your paper bill – without the postal delay.

You can pay an eBill just like any other online bill payment. Or you can choose to have your eBills paid automatically with Auto-Pay (under a certain dollar amount).

Bill Pay can only be used with a checking account. You must also enroll in Online Banking or the Mobile App to access Bill Pay.

For example, when you make a payment on a Saturday, it will be posted with that day as the payment date, even though the payment is part of the Monday process.

eBills are an important part of North Shore Bank’s Bill Pay. These documents are simply bills delivered electronically to you, rather than mailed.

When registering online to pay your North Shore Bank loan or mortgage, you will need to provide the following information

The loan or mortgage account number for the loan you are making a payment on
The account number and routing number of the account you will be using to fund your payment.

It’s important to make sure both numbers are accurate to ensure a smooth payment process.

When you register for the online loan payment service, you are able to establish login credentials that will grant you additional functionality, such as setting up recurring payments. If you choose not to register, you can still submit a payment after validating select information. Examples of this information include your account number, last name, address, zip code, last four digits of your Social Security Number (SSN).

There is no cost to use Bill Pay for personal accounts.

If you don't see the contactless symbol, your contactless-enabled card can still be used by inserting your chip or swiping at checkout.

Contactless technology uses a hidden, embedded computer chip and radio frequency antennae. After you tap your contactless card or mobile device at checkout, payment details are sent wirelessly to the payment network. If you're using a mobile phone, moments after you tap, you'll receive payment confirmation and you'll be on your way.

There is no cost to use a Digital Wallet, however, an active data plan with your mobile carrier is required. Based on your wireless plan, additional message and data charge may apply.

Yes, if your card number or expiration date has changed you will need to update the card in your digital wallet. Please delete the old card from the wallet app.

Digital wallets provide merchants with a device account number or token instead of a card number. This means your actual card number is never shared directly with the merchant and your details remain safe.

When making purchases at a retailer that accepts Apple Pay as payment, hold your device over the terminal and accept the charge with your fingerprint or passcode when prompted. A subtle vibration and beep lets you know the purchase was successful.

Your experience with Apple Pay may vary by merchant. If asked to verify the last 4 digits of a card number give the merchant the last four digits of the Device Account Number instead. The Device Account Number can be found by selecting the ⓘ icon while viewing your card in the Wallet app. You may also be asked to provide a signature or debit card PIN to complete your transaction.

You can also use Apple Pay on your iPhone or iPad to make purchases within participating mobile apps. Look for the Apple Pay logo while completing an in-app purchase to use this feature.

To remove a card from Apple Pay, simply select the card in the Wallet app and click on the ⓘ icon in the bottom corner to view the back of the card. Scroll to the bottom to find the ‘remove card’ option. After deleting, you can re-add this card to Apple Pay at any time.

A contribution recharacterization allows you to change the contributions original designation and treat a regular contribution made to a Traditional IRA or a Roth IRA as having been made to the other type.

This proxy vote can be revoked or signed/added at any time.

Effective January 1, 2018, pursuant to the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (Pub. L. No. 115-97), a conversion from a Traditional IRA, SEP, or SIMPLE to a Roth IRA cannot be recharacterized. The law also prohibits recharacterizing amounts rolled over to a Roth IRA from other retirement plans, such as 401(k) or 403(b) plans.

A Roth IRA conversion made in 2017 may be recharacterized as a contribution to a traditional IRA if the recharacterization was made by October 15, 2018. A Roth IRA conversion made on or after January 1, 2018, cannot be recharacterized. For details, see “Recharacterizations” in IRS Publication 590-A, Contributions to Individual Retirement Arrangements (IRAs).

The Greenlight App is for kids and grownups of all ages. No minimum (or maximum) age here.

As a customer of North Shore Bank, you can get Greenlight for your family at no cost. This partnership plan includes debit cards for up to five kids. To qualify, you need to fund your Greenlight account using your North Shore Bank debit card or linking to your checking account using North Shore Bank’s routing number and your checking account number.

Enroll in Greenlight today.

When your child's card arrives, follow these simple steps to activate it right away:

Open your Greenlight app. From your Parent Dashboard, you should see a notification prompting you to activate your child’s card.
Tap on the notification and input the card's expiration date in the app to activate it.
Next, visit your child's dashboard by clicking their square at the top of your Parent Dashboard.

Select "Manage Card" then "Set debit card PIN." After the PIN is set, your physical card is activated and ready to use!

We have made it super easy to check your child's spending history.

Navigate to your child's dashboard.
Click on the Spending tile.
At the top right, click on "History."

You then have the ability to filter the view to see spending history for the last 30 days, 90 days, or 12 months as well as grouping transactions by stores.

Greenlight is a debit card for kids, not a credit card. Parents load money onto the card from their own Greenlight app funded by their North Shore Bank personal checking account. And because it’s a debit card, kids can’t spend what isn’t there. That’s a pretty valuable life lesson.

Greenlight offers a Greenlight Savings Reward, where families can earn up to 1% on Savings.* With a Greenlight Savings Reward, kids learn the power of compound growth and why it pays to save.

*Greenlight Select families can earn monthly rewards of 1% per annum on an average daily savings balance of up to $5,000 per family. To qualify, the Primary Account must be in Good Standing and have a verified ACH funding account. See Greenlight Terms of Service for Details. Subject to change at any time.

You can use the app to set up direct deposit, so your teens’ paychecks are automatically deposited into their Greenlight account. Also, keep in mind that getting a first job is the right time to help your child open their first checking account and continue to teach them money management skills.

Yes! Once existing Greenlight customers add their personal North Shore Bank checking account as a funding source, they can reach out to Greenlight customer service by calling 888-483-2645 or texting 404-974-3024 and request to be added to the North Shore Bank partnership program.

You can check with your employer benefits manager or health insurance provider. Then give us a call. We’re here to help.

Typical distribution options are by Debit Card, check, or in the bank lobby. Distributions not used for qualified health related expenses are subject to taxation and may be subject to IRS penalty.

Each year, the IRS establishes minimum deductible amounts for both individual and family medical plans to qualify as a High Deductible Health Plan. To view the current minimum deductibles, visit the IRS website.

It is typically a checking account opened to pay health-related expenses with tax-free funds.

If you’re eligible, you may contribute up to the limit established by the IRS for individual or family coverage.

Also, as an eligible individual, you may contribute an extra ‘‘catch-up’’ amount from age 55 until you’re enrolled in Medicare. However, eligible spouses may not contribute their ‘‘catch-up’’ amounts to the same HSA. Instead, each must have their own HSA. You may make contributions in the current year for the previous year if you’re eligible and if your contribution is made by the tax-filing deadline (excluding extensions).

To view the current contribution limits, visit the IRS website.

If you’re eligible, you may contribute up to the limit established by the IRS for individual or family coverage. An employer may contribute for their eligible employees within the same dollar limitations. These limits apply whether contributions are made by you, your employer or a combination of both. Contributions may accumulate from year to year. (Special rules apply if you do not remain eligible and the year you enroll in Medicare).

To view the current contribution limits, visit the IRS website.

To contribute, the owner of a Health Savings Account (HSA) must have a High Deductible Health Plan (HDHP) and must not be covered by any Health Plan that is not an HDHP, not be claimed as a dependent on another’s tax return and not be enrolled in Medicare.*

*Other criteria may apply. Consult your Health Insurance Provider to be certain you are eligible for an HSA. The Bank does not determine your eligibility.

Contributions made by you are tax deductible. Similarly, contributions made by your employer are tax deductible to them and are excluded from your gross income. Distributions used for qualified medical expenses are free from Federal income taxes, if the expenses are not taken as an itemized deduction.

When you originally applied for your Home Equity Line of Credit, you were approved for the HELOC for ten years. If you received notification from us, it means you are nearing your 10-year anniversary of having a HELOC. To continue enjoying the benefits of a HELOC, you will need to re-apply for a Home Equity Line of Credit.

Prior to your HELOC maturity date, you’ll need to take one of three actions:

Reapply for a HELOC. Reapply now and we’ll waive the annual fee for the first year.
If you have a balance on your HELOC, you can convert your remaining HELOC balance to a fixed rate loan.
If you have a balance, you can pay the balance of your HELOC in full. The line of credit will expire and no longer be available for use after the maturity date.

To get your payoff amount, please call Customer Support at 877-672-2265.

To find out your HELOC balance, you can view your account information online, visit your nearby branch or call Customer Support at 877-672-2265.

A HELOC can impact your credit score depending on how you manage your account. Like any other loan or line of credit, your score can increase as you make your payments on time. It’s also beneficial to keep the balance of your HELOC relatively low compared to the amount you have available.

If you use your HELOC to consolidate higher-rate credit cards, your credit score may increase. If your balance on credit cards is relatively high compared to the credit limit available and you use your HELOC to pay down those cards, your credit utilization ratio will improve, and in turn so will your credit score.

Learn about the Credit Utilization Rate and how it affects credit score from Experian.

Note that a HELOC balance is not part of your credit utilization ratio because it is secured by your home. When applying for credit, a financial institution uses your FICO score (credit score used most often by lenders), which excludes HELOCs from credit utilization calculation.

When you apply for a HELOC or any loan, your lender will perform a hard credit inquiry. Your score may decrease slightly, but the impact diminishes over time.

We offer both fixed and adjustable rate loans, as you’ll see on our mortgage rates page. While some of the differences between the two loan types can be complicated, these simple points of comparison can give you a better idea of your options.

A fixed rate mortgage might be better if you:

Prefer the peace of mind that comes with one locked-in interest rate and monthly payment
Plan on staying in your home for many years
Are near the peak of your earning potential or don’t want to risk taking on a larger monthly payment in the future

An adjustable rate mortgage might be better if you:

Prefer a lower upfront rate or wish to qualify for a larger mortgage
Plan on selling or refinancing your home in just a few years
Expect your earning potential or financial worth to increase by the time your monthly payments increase

Your personal preferences can offer important clues to the best choice. Contact our loan professionals today or call 877-672-2265 to schedule an appointment at no obligation.

If the overage amount is equal to or greater than $50 and your loan is current, a check for the refund will be forwarded to you within 30 days of the escrow analysis. If the overage is less than $50, it will remain in your escrow account.

Your payments are credited when your transaction is recorded by the bank - usually the same day the payment is received. We are unable to consider a payment deposited in our night depository as received until it is actually posted to your account. Likewise, a postmark date is not considered to be the date of receipt. Payments received 15 days after the due date are subject to late fees in accordance with your mortgage agreement.

As you review your mortgage options, one basic question is: Do you want the lowest monthly payment, or is it your goal to own your home as quickly as possible?

Our most popular 30-year and 15-year fixed rate mortgages, for example, both have advantages You’ll pay less each month with a 30-year term. On the other hand, a 15-year mortgage can reduce your interest costs by more than half over the life of the loan.

Why you might prefer a 30-year term

You can only afford a lower monthly payment
You’re younger and expect to earn income over the entire term
You can maximize your mortgage interest tax deduction

Why you might prefer a 15-year term

You’ll own your home free and clear sooner
You want to pay off your home before retiring or sending children to college
You’ll pay less interest over the life of the mortgage

You can try our mortgage and loan calculators to compare terms for fixed and adjustable rate mortgages. Talk to a loan professional at North Shore Bank to discuss the terms that fit you best. We can help make your choices clear.

You’ll find a variety of home financing options on our mortgage home loans page, including:

Fixed rate mortgages that securely lock in one low interest rate and monthly payment over the life of your loan
Adjustable rate mortgages that can make a great home more affordable with lower upfront payments
Primary home mortgages with terms ranging from 3-to-30 years
Home equity lines of credit that let you finance improvements or get needed cash, using the value of your current home
No closing cost loans and non-qualified mortgage loans
Multi-family and commercial mortgage loans

Finding the best mortgage also means finding the best terms, so talk to one of our loan professionals for answers and advice. Is a 10-year term a better fit for you than 30 years – or do you want a smaller down payment and lower monthly payment? Do you like the security of fixed rates, or can an adjustable rate mortgage help you afford the home you really want?

We can walk you through all the possibilities. Simply call 877-672-2265. There’s no obligation – just good advice you can trust. You can also get pre-approved in as little as a few minutes. It’s easier than you think!

Freddie Mac is a public government-sponsored enterprise that purchases conventional mortgages from insured depository institutions and HUD-approved mortgage bankers.

An escrow analysis, performed annually, ensures that the sum of your monthly escrow payments is sufficient to cover all items that are to be paid from your escrow account such as real estate taxes and home insurance. The analysis shows if your escrow account has funds left over or is short of funds after all disbursements are made. If taxes or insurance rates have risen during the year, your monthly escrow amount will rise as well. If they have dropped, your escrow payment may decrease.

Because escrow analysis usually is done in February, any escrow payment changes likely would take effect with your April payment.

An escrow account is established to hold money collected by your lender to pay your hazard insurance and property taxes when they become due. Lenders usually require escrow payments every month to ensure that they have enough to pay the insurance and taxes for you.

A mortgage note (also known as a real estate lien note) is a promissory note associated with a specified mortgage loan; it is a written promise to repay a specified sum of money plus interest at a specified rate and length of time to fulfill the promise.

Mortgage Home Loans

Likely the largest debt you'll ever take on, a mortgage is a loan to finance the purchase of your home.

Your home is collateral for the loan, which is also a legal contract you sign to promise that you'll pay the debt, with interest and other costs, typically over 15 to 30 years. To repay the debt, you make monthly payments that typically include the principal, interest, and taxes.

Mortgage Home Loans

Your mortgage agreement requires that you make full monthly payments. Therefore, any amount less than the current month's full payment will be placed in an Unapplied Payment Account and held until there are enough funds to pay the mortgage payment and late fee, if applicable.

A partial payment could cause your mortgage account to be considered delinquent and therefore subject to late fees.

As soon as you complete your online mortgage application, one of our loan originators will review your request. Here’s what happens next:

Our loan originator will contact you to answer questions or get any extra information needed for your application
A North Shore Bank application kit will be sent to you for completion while we prepare your loan for closing
We’ll schedule an appraisal of your new home, using an experienced local professional
To settle your home’s title insurance, we’ll work with your real estate agent or seller
Upon receiving your application kit, the home appraisal and title work, we'll contact you to arrange a closing date
Before closing, your loan originator will review everything with you, so there are no surprises
We’ll schedule your closing with the real estate agent and seller at the office of our local agent
You’ll take ownership of your new home

At every step, a North Shore Bank loan originator will provide you with constant status updates and the fast turnaround you want. To see for yourself, get pre-approved today at no cost.

After you apply for a home mortgage, we’ll ask you for a variety of documents in order to prepare your loan for closing. Having these papers ready can dramatically shorten your turnaround time and get you into your new home that much sooner:

Income verification, including paycheck stubs and W-2 forms
Tax documents for two recent years, including all tax return pages and schedules
Bank and investment statements
Current profit-and-loss statements if you run your own business
Proof of rental property income going back two years, if applicable
A gift letter from anyone providing cash toward your down payment, stating that the money is a gift rather than a loan

Depending on your situation, you may need to provide other documents as well. A quick talk with our loan professionals can make it clearer, so feel free to call us at 877-672-2265. We’ll help guide you through the home buying process with a minimum of red tape.

The specific amount of your closing costs will vary, there are a few reasons why:
A home loan often involves fees, such as the appraisal fee, title charges, credit bureau costs, closing fees, and state or local taxes. These fees vary from loan type.

When you close on a mortgage, you may have the option of paying points in exchange for a lower interest rate that can reduce your monthly loan payments. If you’re not sure what points are or how they can affect your mortgage costs, here are some basics to help you decide.

A point is basically a measure of prepaid interest, equal to 1% (one point) of the total loan. For a $100,000 mortgage, that means an upfront cost of $1,000 per point.

Generally points are worth the cost if:

You can save more on payments over the life of the loan than by putting the money into a bigger down payment
You intend to stay with your home (and your mortgage) for a long time

You can use our mortgage points calculator to calculate your own savings. For example, paying two points to get a 4% rate on a $100,000 mortgage could save you $2,000 over 10 years. But if your plan is to sell your home after only four or five years, you’re better off putting the money into your down payment.

For all your mortgage options, contact a loan professional today or call 877-672-2265. At North Shore Bank we’ll help you maximize the value of your mortgage.

If the repairs have been completed, North Shore Bank may need to make an inspection to confirm the repairs have been completed before releasing the check. In addition, we will need to be supplied with the insurance company's proof of loss, if not previously sent, and contractors' lien waivers, if applicable. If this happens to you, please contact Mortgage Services.

Your mortgage agreement requires that in addition to notifying your insurer, you also notify the bank. Please contact our Mortgage Servicing Group at 877-672-2265 when you receive the proof of loss from your insurance carrier. Because your property is the collateral for your loan, we may need to inspect the damage and the repairs when they are completed.

The specific cost of a mortgage refinance will vary by loan type. A mortgage often involves fees, such as the appraisal fee, title charges, credit bureau costs, closing fees, and state or local taxes. These fees vary from loan type.

Escrow shortages are collected over the next year. One-twelfth of the shortage will be collected each month, most likely beginning in April.

Financing a home of your own might seem like only a dream. But dreams can come true with these basic tips.

Document your finances. Look at how you spend your paycheck, including credit card or student loan payments. If you can keep your monthly debt obligations below 43% of your income, you have a better chance of qualifying for a mortgage.
Don’t put it off. It costs nothing to meet with our mortgage professionals and decide if you’re ready financially. We can also show you mortgage programs that might fit your unique needs.
Maintain good credit. If your credit score is around 620 or below, talk to us about ways you can raise it before applying for a mortgage.
Avoid new debt. Don’t get new credit cards or make big purchases with plastic that can drive down your credit score.
Save toward a down payment. A down payment of just 5% can make all the difference in getting approved if your credit score isn’t the best.
Find a co-signer. If you can’t qualify for a mortgage on your own, having a co-signer can help compensate for less-than-perfect credit.

At North Shore Bank we’re happy to help you start on the path to home ownership. Call us at 877-672-2265 today, or apply online for a mortgage right now.

It is possible if the loan requested is a refinance and there is sufficient equity to meet the loan-to-value (LTV) ratio requirements.

Many homeowners refinance with North Shore Bank to reduce monthly payments, slash years off their loan term, get cash out and save many thousands of dollars in interest.

Refinancing your home often makes financial sense if:

You can save at least a point or two off your current interest rate
Your credit score has improved and you qualify for a lower rate
Your financial situation has changed and you need lower payments – or you can now afford larger payments

A good place to start is by checking our rates and comparing them to your current mortgage. You might end up pocketing big savings over the life of the loan, or owning your house free and clear much sooner. Use our refinancing calculator to assess potential savings and break-even points.

To find out more, apply online with no obligation. Refinancing with North Shore Bank is quick and easy, with no appraisal required, and our loan officers are happy to discuss your options.

Loan amounts with a loan-to-value greater than 80 % require an escrow account for the payment of real estate taxes and insurance. Borrowers with a loan-to-value less than 80% may request to waive the escrow account requirement and pay these items themselves with the lenders' approval.

All mortgage loans in excess of 80% loan-to-value will require an escrow account be established. Borrowers with a loan-to-value less than 80% may request to waive the escrow account requirement.

You may change insurance companies but you will need to let us know anytime changes are made to the insurance coverage. Before you make any changes please contact Customer Support at 877-672-2265 to see if there are any restrictions or limitations.

You may view our interest rates at any time. You can also set up a rate alert to be notified when mortgage rates change.

Mortgage Home Loans

When you finally come upon the house of your dreams, fast loan approval and a quick close can often determine whether you’ll be the one proudly moving into that new home.

At North Shore Bank, our mortgage team is proud to deliver fast, local decision-making and industry leading turnaround times. But you can do a lot to accelerate the closing process, too.

Try these suggestions:

Get pre-approved online. Obtaining pre-approval often takes just a few minutes, but it can save a week or more once you’ve made your offer and begun the closing process.
Gather documentation early. Learn which documents you’ll need for closing and track them down now, so you won’t be waiting anxiously later.
Be complete. Our loan underwriters will need every last page of documentation (even the blanks) to establish your complete financial record. When in doubt, include it.
Get your gift early. If a family member is helping with your down payment, deposit it in your bank account more than two months before you apply.
Be honest. Omissions on the initial application are the #1 reason for delays, so be upfront about problem areas. We’re here to find and close a loan for you – not to judge you.
Avoid big changes to your finances. Don’t apply for new credit, get a car loan or make big purchases. Also, avoid a job change if possible. It can raise red flags that slow your loan.
Communicate quickly. Commit to checking your phone regularly, setting email alerts or doing whatever it takes to be responsive.
Set a timeline with your seller. If your offer is accepted and the seller must fix certain issues, get it in writing with a mandatory completion date.

Working closely with North Shore Bank can help you move in ASAP, so contact us today or call 877-672-2265 to get other tips for a speedy closing.

When you apply for a mortgage at North Shore Bank, you can also take advantage of other products to save money and increase your financial flexibility.

My Credit Score is a credit monitoring tool we provide to you at no cost to learn more about how your financial decisions impact your credit score. You can expect your score to be different because we consider additional credit factors in your loan application that are not available in this tool that may result in a different score.

My Credit Score uses the Vantage Score 3.0 scoring model and pulls your credit profile from Trans Union. There are additional credit factors we consider when reviewing your loan application by using a FICO scoring model. The use of different scoring models is why you see a difference in your scores.

No scoring models are identical, but are directionally the same. If your score goes up based on your credit activity in My Credit Score, you might see an increase in the scores we pull for loan applications as well.

YES! We encourage you to enroll so that you may closely monitor your credit profile and report any errors in a timely manner.

You may need to follow up with the other two bureaus to ensure your errors have been corrected.

North Shore Bank offers both Traditional and Roth IRAs to help you save for retirement—with guidance from our knowledgeable IRA professionals every step of the way.

Make saving for your retirement a little less taxing.
Both Traditional and Roth IRAs offer valuable tax advantages – either tax-deferred or tax-free growth – and can be set up with automatic distributions for added convenience.

Use our Roth IRA Conversion Calculator to explore if converting from a Traditional IRA to a Roth makes sense for your situation.

Traditional IRA

Anyone with earned income who wants to save money for their retirement can contribute to a Traditional IRA, which allows their money to grow tax-deferred until retirement age.

What's in it for you?

Contributions may be tax-deductible^Footnote 1
Can be consolidated with other personal IRAs
North Shore Bank Certificates of Deposit are FDIC-insured

Roth IRA

Anyone with earned income who meets income eligibility limits can contribute to a Roth IRA, especially those seeking tax-free withdrawals in retirement.

What's in it for you?

Earnings may be able to be withdrawn tax-free^Footnote 2
<Can be consolidated with other Roth IRAs
North Shore Bank Certificates of Deposit are FDIC insured
No requirement to withdraw a minimum amount at any age

Find an office near you.

1 Distributions taken prior to age 59½ are subject to an IRS penalty. Your contributions to a Traditional IRA may or may not be tax-deductible. Deductibility is determined by two factors, whether you actively participate in an employer-maintained qualified retirement plan and your modified adjusted gross income. (Consult your tax advisor)

2 Income limits may affect your eligibility to contribute. Generally you can begin taking "distribution" withdrawals from a Roth IRA without paying taxes or penalties if you have reached at least age 59½. Unlike with a Traditional IRA, there is no requirement to withdraw a minimum amount at any age. (Consult your tax advisor.)

North Shore Bank generally processes transactions to your account at the end of each day, Monday – Friday, excluding federal holidays. We also process certain categories of transactions on Saturdays, excluding federal holidays. Transactions generally process in the following order:

Most credits process first including: sweeps, overdraft protection transfers, Remote Deposit Capture (RDC), mobile deposits, and Automatic Clearing House (ACH) credits.
Debits and credit transactions performed by you or us at the Bank, at the ATM, or via Internet or telephone transfers and applicable transaction fees (i.e., stop payment, wire transfer, ATM or overdraft fees agreed to at the time of the transaction), process in the date/time order they occurred.
Debit card transactions process in date/time order on the date they are settled by the merchant and then received at the bank.
ACH debits process from lowest to highest dollar amount on the effective date they are presented and settled.
Debit sweeps from funding accounts to cover overdraft protection transfers.
Checks process in check number/numerical order.
Monthly interest credits and applicable account fees. See our Fee Schedule for details.

The processing order of these items is important because if there is not enough money in the account to pay for the items in the order they are processed in accordance with the processing order, there may be an overdraft on your account which may result in overdraft or non-sufficient funds fees or an increase in the amount of these fees.

Both Traditional and Roth IRAs offer tax advantages—either tax-deferred or tax-free growth—to help your savings go further. Each account can be set up with automatic distributions, including required minimum distributions when applicable. Plus, every option comes with the expert guidance of a North Shore Bank IRA Professional.
