Homebuyers looking to make the least possible payments or save on interest, search no more! The Laurentian Bank offers a variable-rate mortgage based on the lowest available market rate. 

In a nutshell...

It’s a solution you can’t afford to ignore! You get the most competitive rate on the market… and you can also benefit from the fixed or variable payment option.

Variable payments

Variable payments ensure you make the smallest possible payments based on the fluctuating prime rate.
