Overview

Who is Threepoint Capital?

BC-based alt-A and private mortgage lender. Active in residential 1st and 2nd mortgages with equity-based underwriting. Strong on power-of-sale rescues and CRA-debt refinances.

Threepoint Capital sits within the alt-a / b-lenders tier of Canada's mortgage market. For files A-lenders decline: BFS, bruised credit, complex income. Rate premium of 75-150 bps. We map the A-lender exit.

From thousands of funded files across 99+ Canadian lenders, our brokerage has placed thousands of mortgages with Threepoint Capital and we know their underwriting appetite intimately — what they say yes to, what they push back on, and what file structure gets a clean approval the first time. Threepoint Capital fills the gap between A-lender bank decline and private-mortgage territory — competitive pricing on files that don't fit clean bank boxes.

FAQ

Threepoint Capital — common questions

Don’t see yours? Ask Maya.

What are Threepoint Capital's current mortgage rates in Canada?
Threepoint Capital's rates change daily and are channel-specific — branch rates differ from broker-channel rates. As a brokerage we access Threepoint Capital's broker-channel sheet, typically 15-30 bps below their walk-in rate. Our live rate board (last reviewed May 13, 2026) shows current best-in-network across 99+ lenders. See our live rate board.
How do I qualify for a mortgage with Threepoint Capital?
Standard Canadian qualifying: 5%+ down (under 20% requires CMHC/Sagen/Canada Guaranty default insurance), OSFI B-20 stress test at the higher of contract rate + 2% or 5.25%, GDS ≤ 39% and TDS ≤ 44%. Threepoint Capital's underwriting has specific preferences we know from working with them — we'll tell you whether your file is a strong fit before submitting.
Is Threepoint Capital a good mortgage lender?
Threepoint Capital is genuinely strong on: BC alt-A files, Power-of-sale rescue, 1st + 2nd mortgages. As your broker we evaluate Threepoint Capital against 99+ other Canadian lenders for your specific file — sometimes they're the best fit, sometimes a different lender is. The honest answer depends on your file profile, not the lender's marketing.
Can I switch to Threepoint Capital at renewal?
Yes, if your file qualifies. A transfer-in at renewal typically costs you $0 — Threepoint Capital covers the discharge fee from your old lender and the appraisal as a transfer incentive. We benchmark Threepoint Capital's offer against your existing lender's renewal rate and the broader market 6 months before renewal so the switch (or stay) is timed properly.
Does Threepoint Capital work with self-employed borrowers?
Threepoint Capital focuses on standard A-lender files. For self-employed borrowers we'd typically place at a specialty BFS lender (Home Trust, Equitable, RFA, Haventree) and refinance to Threepoint Capital once 2 clean NOAs accumulate. See our self-employed mortgages.
How long does Threepoint Capital take to approve a mortgage?
Threepoint Capital's commitment turnaround on a clean broker-channel file is typically 24-72 hours from submission. Complex files (BFS, foreign income, atypical down payment) can take 5-10 business days. Conditional approval to funding is usually 14-30 days depending on appraisal, lawyer, and conditions.
What's the difference between Threepoint Capital branch rates and broker rates?
Threepoint Capital is broker-channel only — they don't operate retail branches, so there's no "branch rate" to compare to. Their entire pricing comes through licensed brokers.
Does Threepoint Capital offer pre-approvals?
Yes — Threepoint Capital, like all major Canadian lenders, offers rate holds (typically 90-120 days) for pre-approved borrowers. We can submit your file to Threepoint Capital for a real underwritten pre-approval, not just a soft rate-hold. This means if rates rise you're locked, and if they fall most lenders honour the lower rate. Start your pre-approval here.
What prepayment privileges does Threepoint Capital offer?
Most major Canadian lenders including Threepoint Capital offer 15-20% annual lump-sum prepayment plus 15-20% payment-increase privileges per anniversary year. The exact privilege depends on the specific product family (insured/insurable/conventional) and term selected. We disclose the privileges and IRD calculation method up front so you know your exit cost before you sign.
What if Threepoint Capital declines my mortgage application?
As a broker we don't single-submit — if Threepoint Capital declines, we have 98+ other lender options across A-tier, alt-A, MIC, and private. We'll diagnose the decline reason (credit, income, LTV, property type, beacon), fix what's fixable, and re-strategize. A bank decline ends your bank application; with us, it's one route taken off the map and we pivot.
