What is a Bank Statement Program?

Features
A loan option
If you work as a consultant, freelancer, small business owner, or in any other position that causes your cash flow to be inconsistent, a Bank Statement Program is an option when traditional loans may not be.
A refinancing opportunity
For those who have left the traditional workforce since purchasing their home, a Bank Statement Program is a great to pathway to refinancing (using your bank statement loans).
An easier way
As your actual bank statements serve as a means of qualifying, a Bank Statement Program can actually help in getting a loan relatively easily. In fact, you may even qualify for a bigger home than you would with a traditional mortgage.
