Cash remittance to cover your start-up costs

Transfer taxes, property taxes or moving expenses: when a buying a home, you may incur start-up costs equal to 3% to 5% of the value of your home. With our cash remittance for start-up costs, you can get up to $10,000 or the equivalent of 5.5% of your mortgage amount1 to cover a portion of them.

How the cash remittance works

When you are approved for a mortgage to buy a home2, the interest rate will be slightly increased3 to reflect the cash remittance need.
