Loans and Home Equity Lines of Credit

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:

1. 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.
2. Gather documentation early. Learn which documents you’ll need for closing and track them down now, so you won’t be waiting anxiously later.
3. 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.
4. 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.
5. 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.
6. 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.
7. Communicate quickly. Commit to checking your phone regularly, setting email alerts or doing whatever it takes to be responsive.
8. 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.

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.

The return process varies by merchant. You may need to present a receipt from the merchant to return the item or device over the contactless payment terminal and wait for the slight vibration of the device to confirm the refund has been processed.

Make saving for retirement a little less taxing.
Both the Traditional and Roth IRA grow tax-deferred and are allowed to have automatic distributions. All of our retirement options come with the expertise and guidance of a knowledgeable North Shore Bank IRA Professional.

Use our Roth IRA Conversion Calculator to see if you should convert.

Traditional IRA
Anyone under the age of 70 with earned income and wants to save money for their retirement can use an account that 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, any age, with earned income who wants to save money for retirement, especially those who earn an income that exceeds the limits set for Traditional IRA deductibility, and want the ability to withdraw the money tax-free can use a Roth IRA.

What's in it for you?

• Earnings may be able to be withdrawn tax-free^Footnote 2

• Can be consolidated with other personal 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 affect eligibility to contribute.  You can begin taking "distribution" withdrawals from a Roth IRA without paying taxes or penalties if you have held the account for at least 5 years, and have reached at least 59½ years of age. Unlike with a Traditional IRA, there is no requirement to withdraw a minimum amount at any age. (Consult your tax advisor)

A credit card payment works like a loan which is paid back monthly if you use it. A debit card uses funds that you have available in your checking account.

Zelle^® is a great way to send money to family, friends, and people you are familiar with such as a personal trainer, babysitter or neighbor¹.

Since money is sent directly from your bank account to another person's bank account within minutes² Zelle^® should only be used to send money to friends, family, and others you trust.

Neither North Shore Bank nor Zelle^® offers a protection program for any authorized payments made with Zelle^® - for example, if you do not receive the item you paid for or the item is not as described or as you expected.  

1 To send or receive money with Zelle®, both parties must have an eligible checking or savings account.
2 Transactions typically occur in minutes when the recipient's email address or U.S. mobile number is already enrolled with Zelle^®.

Overdraft Protection

When you make a withdrawal that results in a negative balance in your checking account, Overdraft Protection may help prevent an overdraft by automatically transferring funds to your checking account from another eligible deposit account or Home Equity Line of Credit (subject to interest) you have at North Shore Bank. Overdraft Protection services apply to all transactions.

Overdraft Protection is a great way to protect against the fees merchants may charge for returned checks and there is no charge for the automatic transfer of funds. If you would like to sign up for Overdraft Protection, please visit your nearest North Shore Bank location. 

Overdraft Privilege

Overdraft Privilege allows you to overdraw your account up to a preset limit for a fee in order to pay a transaction. This limit is set by North Shore Bank. Even if you have Overdraft Protection, Overdraft Privilege is still available as secondary coverage if the Overdraft Protection source is exhausted. North Shore Bank has the discretion to pay overdrafts on accounts in good standing and any payment is a discretionary courtesy, and not a customer right nor an obligation of North Shore Bank. North Shore Bank can stop paying overdrafts at any time without prior notice of reason or cause.

Learn more about Overdraft Protection and Overdraft Privilege.

You can send money to friends, family and others you trust¹ even if they bank somewhere different from you.  
Since money is sent directly from your bank account to another person's bank account within minutes², it's important to only send money to people you trust, and always ensure you've used the correct email address or U.S. mobile number.

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.

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

1. 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.
2. 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. 
3. 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.
4. Avoid new debt. Don’t get new credit cards or make big purchases with plastic that can drive down your credit score.
5. 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.
6. 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.

Under the requirements of the Patriot Act, all banks must do an identity check on a new customer. They use "customer identification programs" (CIP) that compare your name, address, date of birth, and other facts to the information contained on your credit report. Your credit score will not be damaged by that step.

The CIP regulations require institutions to implement reasonable procedures for verifying the identity of any person seeking to open an account, to the extent that is reasonable and practicable.

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). 

The rate for your Home Equity Line of Credit is based on the prime rate plus an established margin determined by your individual line of credit. The rate on your line of credit changes on the 1st day of the second month following any prime rate change. If your line of credit was opened prior to Jan. 1, 2006, it is based on the prime rate published in the Wall Street Journal Money Rates section on the third Tuesday of the month. If your line of credit was opened on or after Jan. 1, 2006, the rate on your line of credit will change when the prime rate changes in the Wall Street Journal.

In most cases we are able to respond to your loan application within the same business day.

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.

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.

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.

10 business days after the payoff funds are received we will send the lien release or title for loans prior to 7/30/12. If the loan was made after 7/30/12, then the lien will be released electronically and the state will send you the title.

You can expect to receive these documents in the mail within about 30 days after paying off your loan.
 
 If your loan is secured with real estate, a mortgage satisfaction document will be mailed directly to the Register of Deeds for the county in which the mortgage was filed. It may take up to three months for this document to be returned.
 
 If your loan is secured by a vehicle, boat, or other titled collateral, a lien release will be mailed with your paid loan documents. Be sure not to discard or destroy this release, as you will need it to remove our lien.
 
 Should you need a replacement lien release, a fee will be charged. For more information about lien releases, please contact Customer Support at 877-672-2265.

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

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.

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.

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.

It’s extremely safe. In fact, there are eight layers of security built into North Shore Bank’s Online Banking system, all designed to protect your personal and account information. These include:

• Your password
• Secure browsers and servers
• Secure Socket Layer (SSL) protocol
• 128-bit encryption
• Cryptography
• Special firewalls

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!

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.

The information in your Online Banking account is very secure. We use multiple layers of security to protect your information including:

• Password protection
• Internet firewalls
• 128-bit encryption
• Multifactor authentication

There could be several reasons why your debit card does not work, from fraud protection to insufficient funds. Please call our Customer Support Team at 877-672-2265.

When your eStatement is ready, you will receive a notification email directing you to log in to your account to view the new statement.

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.

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.

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.

Home ownership is full of unscheduled expenses. There’s no landlord to shoulder the costs when your roof leaks or the furnace needs immediate replacement. A home equity line of credit (HELOC) lets you budget for these challenges.

If offers:

• Instant buying power, no questions asked 
• Easy access with funds transferred directly to your North Shore Bank checking account
• Can provide lower interest rates than credit cards 

Getting pre-approved with North Shore Bank is a great first step for homebuyers. In just a few minutes online, you’ll have your credit evaluated and learn how much money you have available to buy a home – no cost, no obligation.

Even better, you’ll receive a pre-approval letter that lets you move fast when the right home comes along. That can be a big advantage in a competitive housing market, where the best homes often get multiple offers the same day they’re listed.

With pre-approval in hand, you can:

• Shop with confidence, knowing what you can afford and having the freedom to focus on a great home
• Show real estate agents that you’re ready to buy, resulting in hot leads on homes just coming on the market
• Offer sellers a fast and easy sale, setting your offer apart from other buyers

Above all, pre-approval gives you options. You can always go to another real estate agent or offer sellers a “take it or leave it” price in hopes of a great deal. And it only takes a few minutes to begin. Get pre-approved today and you’re on your way.

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.)

When you use your North Shore Bank Debit Mastercard® to tap and pay $10 or more at participating transit systems, you’ll automatically receive a $2.50 statement credit from Mastercard. It’s their way of making your next ride even smoother.

The statement credit will post to your account as “MastercardTransi Credit” usually within 30 days of your qualifying transit transaction. 

This offer is valid at select U.S. transit agencies that accept contactless Mastercard payments. Learn more about the offer ,including full Terms & Conditions at mastercard.com/transitbenefit.
