Annual percentage rate (APR) represents the true yearly cost of your loan, including any fees or costs in addition to the actual interest you pay to the lender. The APR may be increased after the closing date for adjustable-rate mortgage (ARM) loans.

Estimated monthly payment and APR calculation are based on a down payment of 0% and borrower-paid finance charges of 0.862% of the base loan amount, plus origination fees if applicable. Estimated monthly payment and APR assumes that the VA funding fee of $6,072 is financed into the loan amount. Estimated monthly payment does not include amounts for taxes and insurance premiums and the actual payment obligation will be greater.

The rates shown here are the current rates for the refinance of a single-family primary residence based on a 45-day lock period. These rates are not guaranteed and are subject to change. This is not a credit decision or a commitment to lend. Your final rate will depend on various factors including loan product, loan size, credit profile, property value, geographic location, occupancy and other factors.

To lock a rate, you must submit an application to U.S. Bank and receive confirmation from a mortgage loan officer that your rate is locked. An application can be made by calling 888-291-2334, by starting it online or by meeting with a mortgage loan officer.

Minnesota properties: To guarantee a rate, you must receive written confirmation as required by Minnesota Statute 47.206. This statement of current loan terms and conditions is not an offer to enter into an interest rate or discount point agreement. Any such offer may be made only pursuant to subdivisions 3 and 4 of Minnesota Statutes Section 47.206.
