JENKS, Okla., June 9, 2021 – Gateway Mortgage, a division of Gateway First Bank, is making it easier for eligible homeowners to refinance at a lower interest rate and reduce their monthly mortgage payments through the new RefiNow program. Even with record-low interest rates, many low-to-moderate-income borrowers have been less likely to take advantage of the many benefits of refinancing. The Fannie Mae program is designed to save qualifying borrowers at least $50 per month on their monthly mortgage payment in addition to Gateway offering a $500 appraisal fee credit if an appraisal is conducted.

To qualify for RefiNow, borrowers must have:

• A primary residence under a mortgage backed by Fannie Mae;

• A current income at or below 80% of the area median income (AMI). This is not the income used when the original loan was received, but based on current pay received today in 2021;

• Not missed a mortgage payment for 30 days in the past six months and no more than one missed 30-day mortgage payment in the past 12 months; and

• A minimum credit score of 620 (FICO score);

For additional information, please go to the Fannie Mae website. All loans are subject to program guidelines and final underwriting approval.

Interested borrowers can contact Gateway at 877-406-8109.
