Green Loans

When it comes to the environment, we all need to do our part. But often times, doing the right thing can be cost prohibitive. So we're doing our part by helping you do your part in lowering your carbon emissions.

Green Car Loans

If you’re buying a new vehicle and thinking green, you’ll be seeing more green in your pocket with Lake View Credit Union’s Smart Drive loans! 

You scoop your loan at incredible rates (Prime to Prime plus 2) when you buy “Tier 1” (those specifically designed for superior environmental performance such as Toyota Prius, Honda Insight and Civic Hybrid and the Smart CDI) or “Tier 2” (those that emit significantly less CO2 than the average car, such as the Hyundai Accent, Kia Rio, Toyota's Corolla and Yaris, the Ford Escape hybrid and several Volkswagen diesel-equipped models.  Not sure if what you’re looking at qualifies?  Just come in and we’ll talk.

Looking after your bottom line and the environment – just another way Lake View credit Union is “enriching your life.”

Energy-Efficient Mortgage

If you:

• buy an energy-efficient home;
• purchase a house and make energy saving renovations; or, 
• renovate your existing home to make it more energy efficient,

you could have the flexibility of extending your amortization (the time required to repay your mortgage) from 25 years to a maximum of 35 years if mortgage insured (CHMC/GE). This means your mortgage payments can be more affordable at an earlier stage in your life when your income may not be at its peak. You may also qualify for a 10% insurance premium refund from Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation (CMHC).

This program is made available in part through CMHC. For more details on how you can qualify for the Energy-Efficient Mortgage, speak to one of our mortgage lenders:
