Alternative mortgage options

Provide options to borrowers who fall outside of traditional credit requirements

At First National, we believe that every person should have the opportunity to access a mortgage and own a home, even if they fall outside of traditional credit requirements.

Alternative lending (Excalibur) offers a mortgage option for those people*. They get the chance to tell their stories, which provides the context for our underwriting specialists’ mortgage decisions.

  • Self-employed: a growing segment of the population with small business on the rise.
  • Rehabilitating credit: factors beyond people’s control (death in the family, divorce, children’s tuition) can affect their credit.

In our efforts to continuously go beyond service for you, so you can go beyond service for your clients, we have added Excalibur to our mortgage menu. When you have a potential Excalibur opportunity, you engage your Manager of Business Development who will then engage one of our Excalibur underwriters to work collaboratively with you and your client to uncover his/her story.

At First National, we believe that every person should have the opportunity to access a mortgage and own a home. Excalibur helps you make that a reality for more of your clients.

To learn more about Excalibur or to initiate an opportunity, contact your Manager of Business Development.

*Only available in Ontario, Atlantic Canada, British Columbia and the Prairies
