Types of Mortgages Offered by CIBC

Amortization, Prepayment, and Refinancing

Amortization

The amortization period is the total time it takes to pay off your mortgage in full. A longer period means lower payments but more interest paid overall. Shortening your amortization can save you thousands in interest.

Prepayment

Prepayment privileges let you pay extra toward your mortgage principal, reducing your balance and interest. CIBC allows lump-sum payments and increased regular payments within set limits.

Refinancing

Refinancing means replacing your existing mortgage with a new one, often to access equity, lower your rate, or change terms. Use the calculator to estimate new payments if you’re considering refinancing.
