Get Pre-Approved to determine how much you can borrow
Pre-Approval is a great service that we offer. Simply provide us with documents to verify your income and monthly commitments. We will then determine how much you can borrow and will present you with a pre-approval letter, along with a checklist of documents which will be required for the loan application. With this, you are ready to “Shop for Property” and are in a better position to negotiate with your realtor or vendor.

Once you have obtained all of the documents on your checklist, you are now in a position to complete the official loan application with your Mobile Mortgage Officer. Upon completion* you will be advised of the next steps. *completion is subject to all documents being in order

The Society makes credit decisions on a daily basis. Your Mobile Mortgage Officer will keep you updated on the status of your application and the final outcome. Should additional information be required , he/she will inform you and will work with you to submit for further consideration. A decision is usually made within two (2) to five (5) working days of submission.
You will be required to open a JN Savings Account if you don’t already have one to deposit your closing cost. To open your savings account you will require a valid photo ID, verification of your address and employment, source of funds, two (2) character references and your unique identification number (TRN, SSN, NIN, or SIN).
Issuance of Commitment Letter and Offer of Finance
Once your loan is approved, a Commitment Letter and Offer of Finance will be prepared and issued as appropriate. This is usually done within one (1) day of approval.
The Legal Process Begins
- A firm of Attorneys on our Panel will be instructed to prepare the legal documents and see to the registration of the mortgage on the Certificate of Title. Where feasible, you will be required to visit their offices to execute/sign the documents. Alternatively, they will be sent to you for signing.
- As required by statute, our Attorney will send the mortgage documents to the Stamp Commissioner and the Registrar of Titles for stamping and registration respectively.
Disbursement–Loan is paid out
Upon registration of the mortgage, our Attorney will give clearance for the loan to be disbursed. This is normally done within two (2) days of our receiving his/her request, provided all conditions of approval have been satisfied. Your Mobile Mortgage Officer will then have a conversation with you regarding the details of the disbursement and respond to any queries that you may have. You will also receive a disbursement letter by mail.
Ownership & Occupancy
The property will now be turned over to you by the vendor’s Attorney, subject to the terms and conditions outlined in your agreement for sale.
Servicing
Now that you’re the proud owner of property, we want to help you keep it that way. Simply service your mortgage well by making your payments on or before the due date each month. Bear in mind that overdue payments attract late charges, and depending on the extent of the arrears, other fees as well.
Remember, always talk to your Mobile Mortgage Officer about any concerns or challenges that you may have with the servicing of your loan.
