The network’s best 3-year variable rate today is approximately 3.55% through the broker channel — about $2,811/month on a $700,000 home with 20% down over 25 years. A 3-year variable is a shorter-commitment variable for borrowers who want flexibility and a quick re-shop. HomeEquity Bank (CHIP) prices through brokers only, so this sheet is the one that exists — we compare it against the rest of the network.

The 3-year variable with HomeEquity Bank (CHIP)

HomeEquity Bank (CHIP) on this term. HomeEquity Bank (CHIP) isn't currently posting a broker-channel 3-year variable on our rate board, so the rate above is the best 3-year variable across our 100+ lenders — not HomeEquity Bank (CHIP)'s own. For this term we shop your file across the full shelf, HomeEquity Bank (CHIP) included, and bring back the sharpest fit.

Who it suits. Borrowers who like the variable structure but want to revisit the whole mortgage in three years rather than five. It suits people expecting rate cuts who also anticipate a change — selling, refinancing, or restructuring — inside three years.

What drives the rate. Like the 5-year variable, it moves with prime and the Bank of Canada, but the shorter term means you renegotiate sooner. Availability is thinner than the 5-year variable, so the lender mix that offers it matters.

Breaking it early. Three months' interest, the same cheap-exit advantage as any variable — paired here with an even shorter commitment.

How HomeEquity Bank (CHIP) prices the broker channel

Canada's leading reverse-mortgage lender. The CHIP Reverse Mortgage offers up to 55% of home value as tax-free cash to homeowners 55+, with no monthly payments. No-Negative-Equity Guarantee included.

HomeEquity Bank (CHIP) has a single 3-year variable rate sheet and it is wholesale — published to licensed brokers, with no retail counterpart, because origination is the broker’s job rather than a branch network’s. That is why their pricing is often sharp: the cost the Big-6 carry in branches is not in it. On a $700,000 mortgage, 20 bps is roughly $1,400 a year, which is the size of the gap worth shopping for.

Where HomeEquity Bank (CHIP) is strong
  • CHIP Reverse Mortgage
  • Up to 55% LTV
  • No monthly payment
  • No-Negative-Equity Guarantee

A worked example

On a $700,000 home with 20% down, the mortgage is $560,000. At the network’s best 3-year variable rate of 3.55% over a 25-year amortization, the payment is about $2,811/month. HomeEquity Bank (CHIP) does not lend direct to the public, so this rate only exists through a licensed brokerage — and on the same application we price it against the rest of the network rather than taking it on its own.

Is a 3-year variable with HomeEquity Bank (CHIP) a good idea?
Borrowers who like the variable structure but want to revisit the whole mortgage in three years rather than five.

Three months' interest, the same cheap-exit advantage as any variable — paired here with an even shorter commitment.

HomeEquity Bank (CHIP)'s written payout statement is the only binding number — estimate it first with our mortgage penalty calculator.
