Sometimes unusual situations require financing that thinks outside the box, and we‘ve got that covered. If a standard loan just won't meet your needs, explore your options with a variety of non-traditional fixed-rate and ARM loans available at BECU.

VA Loans: You Served Us, Let Us Serve You

We're thrilled to be able to offer the men and women of the armed forces multiple purchase and refinance options that they can apply their VA Certificate of Eligibility (COE). By choosing BECU, you combine the benefits you've earned, including a zero down-payment option, alongside the savings of a not-for-profit credit union (like fewer fees).

It all adds up to more money back in your pocket.

No Origination Fees

Purchase or refinance your home in Washington or Idaho using a Veteran Affair's loan, and you'll pay no origination fee.* To qualify, you need to set up automatic payments from a BECU checking or savings account, as well as have a Certificate of Eligibility (COE). That's a home loan with no down payment requirement and no origination fee.
