Merix Financial mortgage rates — and how to beat the posted rate.
Merix Financial’s broker-channel rate is typically 15-30 bps below the rate you’d see walking into a branch. We access it as an FSRA-licensed brokerage — and compare it against 100+ lenders so you get the best fit, not just one bank’s sheet.
How Merix Financial’s broker-channel pricing works
Most Canadian lenders, Merix Financial included, run two rate sheets: a posted/branch rate quoted to walk-in customers, and a wholesale broker-channel rate offered through licensed mortgage brokers. The broker rate is usually 15-30 bps lower because the broker handles origination, document collection and file packaging — work the lender would otherwise pay branch staff to do.
You can’t access the broker rate by walking into a Merix Financial branch — only a licensed brokerage can submit to their broker desk. We do exactly that, then put the same file in front of 100+ other lenders so Merix Financial’s offer is benchmarked against the whole market. On a $600,000 mortgage, 20 bps is roughly $1,200 a year in interest — real money over a 5-year term.
