Lock & Shop + Safe Rate Protection

Security & Peace of Mind

Looking for your dream home is an exciting time. Fluctuating interest rates can cause uncertainty while you are searching for your new home. With United Bank’s Lock & Shop + Safe Rate Protection you can be sure your interest rate is locked AND if interest rates decrease, you can negotiate a lower rate.

Lock & Shop

Instead of locking in your interest rate after you’ve chosen your home, Lock & Shop allows you to determine your interest rate first and lock it in for 70 days, then go shop for your home.1

    • Peace of Mind 
      By locking in a rate before you search for a home, you can be assured your rate won’t change.
    • Homebuyers Advantage 
      Gain the advantage in a competitive market by knowing exactly what you can afford when submitting an offer to purchase.
    • Potentially Save Money 
      Even a small interest rate increase could cause a possible budget problem, now you can be confident about what your payment will be up front.
    • Shop with Confidence
      By knowing your exact budget, you can make an offer on your dream home without worrying about fluctuating interest rates.

    Safe Rate Protection

    Safe Rate Protection is an interest rate negotiation option available on some of our mortgage programs. It protects your interest rate and provides the option to potentially lower your rate should rates drop within a specified time and for a certain percentage.

      • Feel Confident 
        After you’ve locked your interest rate, have the security of knowing that if interest rates fall, you can potentially negotiate to a lower rate during the lock period.  
      • Protection 
        Since your interest rate is locked-in your rate will not increase.
      • Skip the Fee 
        United Bank does not charge additional fees for a one-time interest rate renegotiation as most lenders do.
      • Less Stress 
        Interest rates can be unpredictable, Safe Rate Protection takes that stress off the table.
