4:All mortgage APRs are for 1-4 unit owner occupied primary residences based on 20% down payment. APRs may vary with lesser down payment. All mortgages with a loan to value of 80% and over require Prime Mortgage Insurance (PMI). Rates subject to change without prior notice. Zero points on all mortgages. Guidelines available upon request.
3:EMP = Estimated Monthly Payment.
11:Land loans 1-10 years, 25% downpayment
12:ARM loans are variable rate loans, interest rates and payments may increase after consummation. Rates and payments will remain the same for the first 5, 7, or 10 years and then can adjust to a new rate and payment every 1, 3 or 5 years based on a current index, depending on the ARM program you choose. For example, if you select the 5 & 1 Fixed Variable program your rate and principal & interest payment will be fixed for the first 5 years (the 5 in 5& 1), after that the interest rate and payment could change every 1 year for the remainder of the mortgage’s term (the 1 in the 5 & 1).

What is the difference between a fixed rate and an adjustable rate4?
A fixed rate mortgage will have the same interest rate for your entire term. Adjustable rate mortgages4 will change periodically based on the term you choose. Some adjustable rate mortgages are fixed variables meaning they are fixed for a certain amount of years, and adjusted after that period ends. For example: our most popular type of adjustable rate mortgage (ARM) is our 7&1 fixed variable, which means the rate is fixed for the first seven years and then changes once a year for every year after that. See our rates page for more terms.
Do you offer land loans?
Yes. Webster First land loans are only available as adjustable rate4 loans from 1-10 year terms and require a 25% down payment. See our land loan page for more info.
How do Construction Loan disbursements work?
Construction funds are only disbursed for completed items. We will need the following items prior to your first disbursement being released.
- Proof of Insurance/Builders Risk Policy
- Building Permit
- Proposed Plot Plan
Inspections will be ordered by you, the borrower, through the Mortgage Servicing Department, available by:
- Phone – 800-962-4452 ext. 4094
- Email – MortgageServicing@WebsterFirst.com
- Fax – 774-823-1842
Once an Inspection has been requested, please allow a reasonable amount of time for the property to be inspected and the report completed, then returned to Webster First Federal Credit Union for approval. Once the report is approved, allow 1-2 business days for the funds to be disbursed.
Options for how funds can be disbursed:
- Deposited directly into the borrowers Webster First Federal Credit Union account
- Bank check made payable to the borrower(s)
- Bank check made payable to borrower(s) and the builder or contractor
How do I bring in my down payment?
Bring a certified bank check/treasurer’s check on the day of your closing.
What do I do in the event of a borrower’s death?
Contact our Mortgage Servicing department at (800) 962-4452 Ext. 4094 and forward them the death certificate for the mortgage file. If there is a co-signer on the mortgage, they will still be obligated to make payments on the loan. Next steps will vary based on what the deceased had planned to pay off the remaining balance on their mortgage (terms in their will, a trust, life insurance policy, etc.). If there were no plans, the credit union may foreclose on the property.
If there was no co-signer, another person can request to be granted successor in interest which allows them to access certain mortgage information/documentation such as a payoff quote. Based on the circumstances, we will request specific documentation to approve a successor in interest request.
I received a check for an insurance claim on my house with Webster First’s name on it. What do I do now?
If you have a lien on your house and an insurance company pays you for damages (such as a fire, tree falling on it, etc.) the check will be made out to both you and the lien holder (Webster First). Our Mortgage Servicing department will be able to help you disburse the funds from the check, but portions of those funds may be held and released to you later. Contact them at (800) 962-4452 Ext. 4094.
