So said Minister for Housing, Public Works, Energy and Public Utilities, Dr. the Honourable

Earl Asim Martin, while visiting the Basseterre branch of CIBC FirstCaribbean, during the launch of the EC Mortgage campaign. Minister Martin applauded the bank for offering such

an attractive rate of 5.99% and at a higher limit than the SIDF, which was capped at $500K. 

Thanking the Minister for his visit to the bank, Country Manager, Ladesa James, expressed the bank’s continued commitment to the region and to the communities which it serves. 

The recently launched campaign provides a super mortgage package for customers who are planning to build their own homes for the first time! The package combines a low interest rate, with other attractive benefits from the bank. With an unrivalled interest rate of 5.99% fixed for three years, qualifying customers will be well on their way to feeling the joy and pride of owning their own home with the CIBC FirstCaribbean Mortgage. 

Customers who decide to apply for a mortgage under this offer will receive the additional benefit of 50% off the commitment fee, which would be “music to the ears” of anyone building a home, when extra cash always comes in handy. Additionally, pre-approved CIBC FirstCaribbean VISA credit and debit cards come along with the offer; and of course as with all CIBC FirstCaribbean accounts, there’s free Mobile, Telephone and Internet Banking available to help customers keep track in real time of all their accounts.
