Reverse Mortgage
Transform your home’s equity into retirement income
Unlock Your Home’s Potential with a Reverse Mortgage from UCCU
A reverse mortgage is a unique financial tool that allows homeowners aged 62 and older to access their home’s equity as cash. Unlike a traditional mortgage, you don’t make monthly payments to the lender. Instead, you can receive payments from the bank while retaining ownership of your home.
We’re proud to offer reverse mortgages as a flexible solution to help you enhance your retirement lifestyle.

Will the bank own my home if I get a reverse mortgage?
No, you retain ownership of your home. It’s a loan against your home equity, not a transfer of who owns the home.
Will my heirs lose their inheritance?
Not necessarily. Your heirs have options when you pass away: they can pay off the reversed mortgage and keep the home, sell the home, or turn it over to the lender. They won’t owe more than the loan balance or 95% of the home’s value, whichever is less.
Can I lose my home with a reverse mortgage?
As long as you live in the home, maintain it, and pay property taxes and insurance, you won’t lose your home. Have built-in safeguards to protect homeowners.
Do I need to own my home outright to qualify?
No. You can still qualify for a reverse mortgage even if you you still have a payment on your home. Your current balance will be rolled into your reverse mortgage.
Are reverse mortgages expensive?
They do have costs, including origination fees, insurance, and interest. However, these costs are typically rolled into the loan balance, so you don’t pay them upfront.
