The 3-year variable with HomeEquity Bank (CHIP)
Who it suits. Borrowers who like the variable structure but want to revisit the whole mortgage in three years rather than five. It suits people expecting rate cuts who also anticipate a change — selling, refinancing, or restructuring — inside three years.
What drives the rate. Like the 5-year variable, it moves with prime and the Bank of Canada, but the shorter term means you renegotiate sooner. Availability is thinner than the 5-year variable, so the lender mix that offers it matters.
Breaking it early. Three months' interest, the same cheap-exit advantage as any variable — paired here with an even shorter commitment.
How HomeEquity Bank (CHIP) prices the broker channel
Canada's leading reverse-mortgage lender. The CHIP Reverse Mortgage offers up to 55% of home value as tax-free cash to homeowners 55+, with no monthly payments. No-Negative-Equity Guarantee included.
HomeEquity Bank (CHIP) runs two 3-year variable rate sheets: the posted/branch rate and a wholesale broker-channel rate a licensed brokerage accesses, usually 15-30 bps lower because the broker handles origination. You can’t reach it by walking into a branch. On a $700,000 mortgage, 20 bps is roughly $1,400 a year.

A worked example
On a $700,000 home with 20% down, the mortgage is $560,000. At HomeEquity Bank (CHIP)’s best 3-year variable rate of 3.65% over a 25-year amortization, the payment is about $2,840/month. Walk into a branch at the posted rate (~15-30 bps higher) and you’d pay $50-100 more a month for the identical mortgage — which is exactly what the broker channel saves.
