TUKWILA, Wash., Aug. 4, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- BECU announced today that it has introduced a new 12-Year No Fee Mortgage to help consumers who have been reluctant to refinance and take advantage of the historically low mortgage rates.  With the BECU 12-Year No Fee Mortgage, members will be able to take advantage of the low interest rate environment and receive an interest rate comparable with a 10 year fixed rate mortgage without paying hundreds or even thousands of dollars in closing costs or fees.  

"BECU's vision is that qualified homeowners should be able to access these historically low mortgage rates," said Bob Stroup, BECU's Vice President of Member Strategies.  "The 12-Year No Fee Mortgage was designed for consumers with a low balance on their current mortgage who desire to have the financial freedom of owning their home in 12 years or less but have been reluctant to refinance to a lower rate because of closing costs and fees."

Many current mortgage holders have done the refinance math and come up short.  When they factor in the low balance they maintain with their current mortgage, and the associated closing costs associated with refinancing, they are not refinancing.  BECU wanted to give these consumers an easy way to make refinancing a reality.
