“Canadians deserve options when it comes to their financial well-being as they age, and we want to help homeowners stay in control, while still living in their homes,” according to Kim Kukulowicz, Equitable Bank vice president of residential sales and partner relations.

“For a long time, Canadians have had limited choices to access the equity in their homes,” Kukulowicz added. “Now, they can sit down with an experienced and well-established mortgage broker network, and get the right guidance and personalized options that meet their needs.”
