*Rate’s 5-minute pre-approval refers to an automated underwriting review of borrower submitted loan documentation and subsequent pre-approval and should not suggest to a borrower that Rate has fully funded or approved the borrowers mortgage application within 5 minutes. Rate cannot guarantee that a loan will be approved or that a closing will occur within a specific timeframe. Not all borrowers will be approved. Borrower's interest rate will depend upon the specific characteristics of borrower's loan transaction, credit profile and other criteria. Restrictions apply.

**Applications may be completed in five minutes but may fluctuate. Five business day funding timeline assumes closing the loan with our remote online notary. Funding timelines may be longer for loans secured by properties located in counties that do not permit recording of e-signatures or that otherwise require an in-person closing. In addition, funding timelines may be longer if we cannot readily verify that your property is in at least average condition with no adverse external factors with a property condition report and may need to order a desktop appraisal to confirm the value of your property. Texas borrowers will have a 12-day cooling period prior to closing on their home equity loan which will begin after the borrower has both filed a loan application and received consumer disclosures. Go to Rate.com/heloc for important information about restrictions and qualification requirements.

Rate’s Same Day Mortgage promotion offers qualified customers who provide certain required financial information/documentation to Rate within 24 hours of locking a rate on a mortgage loan the opportunity to receive a loan approval within 1 business day of timely submission of documentation and does not suggest that the borrower will receive funding on the same day as their application submission. For purposes of this offer, documents provided after 1 pm local time or on a weekend or company holiday will be deemed submitted the next business day.   Rate cannot guarantee that a loan will be approved or that a closing will occur within a specific timeframe. Rate reserves the right to revoke this approval at any time if there is a change in your financial condition or credit history which would impair your ability to repay this obligation. Read and understand your Loan Commitment before waiving any mortgage contingencies. Borrower documentation and Intent to Proceed must be signed within 24 business hours of receipt. Not eligible for all loan types or residence types. Minimum down payment requirements apply. Not all borrowers will be approved. Borrower's interest rate will depend upon the specific characteristics of borrower's loan transaction, credit profile and other criteria. Not available in all states. Restrictions apply.
