LOAN OPTIONS
Fixed Rate Products
Fixed Rate Products have a fixed interest rate for the entire loan term. Zions Ag Finance offers fixed rate loan up 30 years with options such as 10,15,20,25 and 30 year fixed rates. If the amortization exceeds the term, the loan will have a balloon payment at maturity. (i.e. On a 15-year fixed term loan with 25-year amortization, the loan balloons in 15 years and the balloon payment is due at that time.)
Adjustable Rate Products
Adjustable Rate Mortgage (ARM) Loan Products have a fixed interest rate for the initial period selected, then reprice and fix again for the specified period. This continues throughout the loan term. (i.e. On a 10/1 ARM, the loan will fixed for the initial fixed rate period of 10 years then reprice every 1 year.) Zions Ag Finance offers 7/1 and 10/1 ARM products.
Variable Rate Mortgage
Variable Rate Mortgage (VRM) Loan Products are fixed for an initial period, reprice, and are then fixed for the shorter of the same period or the remaining term of the loan. This continues throughout the entire loan term. (i.e. On a 10-year VRM with a 25-year term, the loan will reprice twice – at year 10 and year 20, then remain fixed for the final 5 years.) Zions Ag Finance offers 1, 3, 5, 10 and 15-year VRM products.
