What is an ARM Loan?

An Adjustable Rate Mortgage (ARM) is a loan with a monthly rate that can adjust (can go up or down) as the interest rate fluctuates. There are different types of adjustable rate mortgages or ARMs - for example: 3/1, 7/1 or 10/1, and 5/6 to name a few. Initially, most ARMs have a fixed interest rate with variable terms.

What is a 5/6 ARM?

  • The first “5” in a 5/6 ARM means that members will have a fixed rate on their loan for 5 years.
  • The second “6” in a 5/6 ARM means that the loan rate will adjust only once every 6 years.
