biweekly loan

    0.01 sec.
Biweekly Loan
A loan in which the property buyer makes payments every two weeks instead of once per month. Both payments could apply to principal and interest, or one of the payments could pay down the principal exclusively. Because of the extra payment, a biweekly loan is repaid faster, which saves the buyer additional interest payments. It is, however, more expensive in the short and medium terms; the bank may also charge extra fees for changing the payments to a biweekly structure.

biweekly loan

A loan that calls for payments every 2 weeks, rather than once a month.

Fannie Mae will buy biweekly loans, but the interest rate will be higher than with conventional, once-a-month payments; in fact, many mortgage providers do not offer the biweekly program in order to provide lower rates to borrowers.
Biweekly loans are usually tied in with a 30 year fixed rate loan.
