Shinhan Bank of Canada
A Korean-Canadian bank lending only in BC and Ontario that funds conventional deals with 20% down minimum and requires a certified rent appraisal on rentals. It lends British Columbia, Ontario.
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.
