Adjustable Rate Mortgage (ARM) Loans
Our ARM loans are available for 1-4 family home purchases and refinances. The maximum mortgage loan amount available for owner-occupied homes is $1,750,000. The interest rate is the same for either conforming or jumbo mortgage amounts. We offer several loan terms that adjust annually after the fixed-rate period. In addition, ARM loans can be used to purchase or refinance investment properties, condos, town homes, and construction/permanent loans. Plus, you can lock in a rate – and keep that rate, even if interest rates go up – for up to 90 days before closing. If rates go down, your locked-in rate will “float down,” and you will receive the lower rate.* * Rate established 7 days prior to closing.
Fixed-Rate Loans
The Provident Bank offers standard fixed-rate mortgage loans for 1-4 family home purchases and refinances. We provide a wide variety of low down payment loan options. Loans on investor purchases, condos, town homes, as well as vacation and second homes, are also available under the conforming loan program.
Jumbo Fixed-Rate Loans
To fulfill the needs of those applicants whose mortgage loan amounts exceed the standard conforming limits, we offer fixed-rate loans for 1- 4 family home purchases and refinances up to $1 million. There are many loan programs including low down payment, no-income verification, bi-weekly payment, condo/town homes, and investment property.

Low or no money down programs are available to help satisfy the needs of all buyers. We also provide refinancing options under these programs. Qualifications and restrictions are based on FHA guidelines.
Neighborhood Loan Program
This is a special program for people buying or refinancing a home in the New Jersey counties we serve. Through this program, low- and moderate-income homebuyers achieve their goal of owning a home with mortgage payments they can afford. Fixed, adjustable, and FHA mortgage loans are available. Reduced rates are available to low- and moderate-income applicants and on loans where the home is located in a low-to moderate-income census tract.

You may have experienced a problem or financial emergency that caused your credit to become impaired. We have flexible credit guidelines that may assist customers with impaired credit.
Home Equity Loan Programs
Fixed Rate Home Equity Loan
A home equity loan is a fixed amount at a fixed rate for a fixed period of time. The Provident offers loans for periods of up to 20 years. Depending upon how much equity you have in your home, you can borrow up to $500,000.00. Once the rate is set, you know what your montly payments are going to be for the entire term of the loan, and you are protected against a rise in interest rates. One of the principal advantages of this kind of loan is certainty. You know the amount of the loan, the duration and the rate, so you easily factor it into household financial planning.
If you're not sure how much you'll need to borrow or if you want the assurance of being able to borrow quickly in an emergency, you might consider opening a convenient home equity line of credit. Once you establish a home equity line of credit, (up to $350,000.00) you use it when and if you need to. You don't have to borrow the whole amount. You can borrow some and then more later, if you prefer. With a home equity line of credit, the monthly payment can vary higher or lower as interest rates fluctuate. The payment will go up if you borrow additional money from the line.
Qualified residences of counties served by The Provident are eligible for an extra quarter percent (.25%) rate reduction. The program is limited to 1-4 family owned-occupied residence with a maximum loan amount of $500,0000.00. (Income limits apply)
