Coastal Community
BC-only credit union that lends to self-employed and newcomer borrowers and handles rural, mobile and equity deals, with a 600 minimum credit score. It lends British Columbia.
Prepayment-penalty method
Fair, contract-rate penalty
If you break a fixed term early, the penalty is calculated the borrower-friendly way, using your actual contract rate. This is usually far cheaper than a big bank's posted-rate method, and it is one of the biggest hidden costs most people never compare.
