Help your clients put their mortgage payments on pause.

Fraction is the only lender in Canada that offers a no-payment mortgage for up to 5 years without payments and no exit penalties at any time.

Unlike other no-payments products that may only offer a one or two year term, Fraction gives borrowers the time to stop, assess, and make the right decision for their financial situation.

Their unique service/product for the mortgage industry certainly has it's place to help clients. I would certainly recommend their service to anyone looking for an out of the box solution. I will work them again as client needs require and would not hesitate to use Fraction personally if this solution fit my own personal situation.

Really smooth experience. Everything explained in simple and easy-to-follow detail. Client on-boarding very well handled.

Frequently asked questions

Go through our most asked questions below, and visit our FAQs page for more detailed questions.

How are Fraction's rates set?

Unlike most institutions in Canada, we do not use the prime rate for our loans. We use CORRA Swaps.

The prime rate from the Bank of Canada is not an actual rate. Each bank publishes its own prime rate, which is a reflection of its own cost of capital, and is partly informed by the overnight rate set by the Bank of Canada.

The prime rate the Bank of Canada publishes is simply the mode of the published prime rates of the 6 largest banks.

CORRA Swaps, by comparison, are informed by the market and reflect interest rate expectations over the term of each swap rate.

Our 3-year product uses the 2.5 year swap rate, our 4-year product uses the 3.5 year swap rate, and our 5-year product uses the 4-year swap rate. The shorter term for the swaps reflects the expected duration of each of our loan products.

To view the CORRA swap rates yourself, you can visit https://www.chathamfinancial.com/technology/canadian-market-rates#view.

Does Fraction's interest compound?

As there are no monthly payments with Fraction's product, it does indeed compound. Interest is charged each day at the daily rate, which is calculated from our posted annual rate.

We will include the daily rate in the final loan documents, but if you'd like to calculate it yourself, you can visit Fraction's rate conversion calculator.

Is Fraction a first lien or second lien loan?

First lien. If you have any existing mortgages, the proceeds of the Fraction mortgage would go towards paying those out.
