Fixed rate vs adjustable mortgage rates in St. Louis

When you apply, we’ll help you find the home loan that fits your unique situation. We offer many products for different needs, but they generally fall into fixed rate vs adjustable rate mortgages.

We'll find the rate type that works best for you.

Fixed-rate mortgage

Keeps the same rate throughout the term of your loan.

Predictable and usually more affordable monthly payments.

Available in 10-, 15-, 20- and 30-year terms.

Better if you plan to live in your home for a long time.

Adjustable-rate mortgage

Start with a lower rate, then change as market interest rates change.

1/1, 3/1 and 5/1 products: Interest rates stay the same for 1, 3 or 5 years, then change based on market for the remainder of the term.

Better if you plan to move before the adjustable rate kicks in.
