First Internet Bank of Indiana, a premier provider of online retail and business banking services nationwide, today announced the expansion of its residential mortgage lending capabilities within the State of Indiana. Backed by a loan guarantee from the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA), First Internet Bank creates the opportunity for low- and moderate-income households to own decent, safe and sanitary dwellings as their primary residence. Homebuyers can finance up to 100% of the purchase price — no down payment required — with a low upfront funding fee and low monthly USDA fee. Properties must be in eligible rural areas, and applicants must meet eligibility requirements.
“I’m proud to expand our residential loan program within our home state,” said David Becker, President and CEO of First Internet Bank. “As a native Hoosier, I am gratified to see our team leverage our skills and technology to help strengthen rural communities and foster homeownership.”
The USDA program complements the Bank’s other government-backed home loan programs, FHA and VA, for homebuyers seeking a low down payment option. First Internet Bank also offers fixed and variable rate conventional loans as well as jumbo mortgages and home equity loans. The Bank currently originates loans in all 50 states through its award-winning online platform, backed by experienced loan officers.
