Refinancing Your Mortgage
Make Your Home Work For You
Want to lower your monthly mortgage payment or secure a lower interest rate? Would you like to take advantage of the equity in your home or move your adjustable rate loan to a fixed rate? If so, consider refinancing your mortgage.
While the process of refinancing is similar to applying for your first mortgage, we’re here to help you understand the pros and cons, options and costs, so the experience is as smooth as possible, and you can get back to focusing on memories, and not interest rates.
Possible Benefits of Refinancing Your Mortgage
LOWER YOUR MONTHLY PAYMENT
Put extra money back into your budget. Rate-and-term finance replaces your current mortgage with a new, lower rates, meaning less to pay back each month.
MANAGE DEBT BETTER
A Cash out refinance may be the option for you. Tap into your equity to pay off any high-interest debt like credit cards, car payments, or student loan debt.
PAY OFF YOUR LOAN FASTER
Refinance from a 30-year loan to a shorter term and pay off your loan in as little as half the time! Pay less interest over the life of your loan as well.
LOCK IN A LOW RATE
Switch from an adjustable-rate to a fixed rate mortgage, and keep one low and manageable interest rate for the life of your loan.
KUDOS!
My experience with FFCCU’s Parma branch has been nothing but positive. Obtaining an auto loan was really easy, even though I came to the establishment as a nonmember.
-Star B.
I love FFCCU! All of the convenience of a big bank with more personalized service. Friendly and helpful staff. A great financial partner! And I love how the credit union is member owned.

Beth Meyer is priceless. I can’t imagine things going any smoother. She stayed in touch at every step and moved everything along with ease.
-Ryan R.
Big kudos to the West Side CLE branch. I secured my new car loan with a rate better than what the dealer was offering. FFCCU has always been my go-to for car loans for this very reason!
-Bridget E.

Just joined the FFCCU when I refinanced my car loan. I couldn’t be happier with the service Jenny Stanfield and Ginny Hainen provided! I did almost everything online. Easy, convenient, and they saved...

Berto was awesome. I joined up today as a brand new member, and he helped in every possible way to make the process smooth and complete. Thanks, Berto!
-Karen
Beth and Kathy were excellent to work with. They answered every question I had and every phone call I made. I loved those two.
-Alan S.
I’ve been with FFCCU for over 25 years and always have great experiences. Lisa Snell was no exception: whether online or meeting in person to close my auto loan, she’s fantastic!
-Julie Z.
Once again, great service here! My membership goes back almost 40 years with Firefighters Community Credit Union. Never a disappointment.
-Dave
The loan process was quick and easy. One of the FFCCU teammates told me about loan options when I was at the branch – by the time I was home 10 minutes later – they had already checked in.
-John S.
Our family has benefited from over 30 years of outstanding service with Firefighters Community Credit Union. Thanks for the prompt response to my online live chat question.
