    When to renew your mortgage?

    Renewing your mortgage can take place without penalty up to 90 days prior to the end of your term, but no later than the maturity date.

    What does renewing mean?

    Renewing your mortgage is a good idea if you have come to the end of your term and have to renegotiate the interest rate and term.

    When to refinance your mortgage?

    Refinancing is the way to go when you want to add funds to your mortgage, borrow money against your homes equity, or shorten and change the terms of your mortgage.

    What does refinancing mean?

    Refinancing your mortgage means you change the term, interest rate, and amount owing by paying off your existing mortgage with a new mortgage that has up-to-date terms and a current rate.
