National Bank offers online pre-approval

For personal banking customers of National Bank of Canada, it’s never been easier to purchase a new home. National Bank is now offering a way for clients to get pre-approval for their mortgage.

Clients can just apply for their mortgage online, and if their application is accepted they'll receive a certificate in two business days confirming the amount National Bank will lend them and the rate it is guaranteeing for 90 days.

Clients can then use the certificate when making an offer on a home, giving them an advantage if the property has multiple offers.

"This new solution will considerably enhance National Bank's digital offering as well as future homebuyers' experience,” said Lucie Blanchet, executive vice-president of personal banking and marketing at National Bank.

“It's fast, it's easy and clients can enjoy autonomy in the process or benefit from the support of one of our mortgage experts, at their convenience. Buying a home is a key moment in a client's life and we're here to make the process easier.”

This new offering is in line with National Bank’s is continuing commitment to digital services. Clients can stop anytime during the online process and go back to where they left off or continue with the help of a mortgage loan expert.
