1Signature will pay closing costs up to $1,000 of the closing costs associated with the processing of your Home Equity Loan which include but are not limited to; credit report, flood determination, verification of employment, settlement charges, title, and appraisal fees. This aso includes government charges and recording fees. This offer excludes the processing fee and a 1% origination fee charged for investment properties. Closing costs vary based on location, type of property and the loan amount. Any closing costs over $1,000 (typically closing costs are $0 - $500) are paid by the member and can be added to the loan request.  Paying your loan off within 3 years (36 months) from the loan origination date, will result in the reimbursement of all closing costs associated with this loan transaction paid by Signature Federal Credit Union. These costs will be added to the payoff of this loan. An employment verification fee of $55.50 will be assessed for each working applicant and a processing fee of $250 also applies, and is the responsibility of the member.
