FAQs regarding your Century Bank Debit MasterCard
Q: What’s the difference between selecting “Debit” or “Credit”?
A: With “Debit,” you enter your Personal Identification Number (PIN). With “Credit,” you don’t, which makes the transaction that much safer. Either way the money is taken directly out of your checking account.
Q: But if I press or say “credit,” does that make it a credit card transaction?
A: No. With your Century Bank Debit MasterCard, the money comes out of your checking account.
Q: How can I get cash?
A: Ask the merchant if “Cash Back” is a service they provide. Or get cash at a Century Bank ATM and at more than 1 million ATMs which display the MasterCard, Cirrus, NYCE or SUM logos.
Frequently Asked Questions
|
Q:
|
What is pre-approval?
|
|
A:
|
A pre-approval from your bank outlines the loan amount you may be able to borrow and helps your real estate agent focus your search on properties you will likely qualify to purchase. Century Bank provides this service at no cost to you.
|
|
Q:
|
How long is the mortgage application process?
|
|
A:
|

|
|
Q:
|
What are the advantages of a Fixed Rate Mortgage?
|
|
A:

With a fixed rate mortgage your monthly principal and interest payment will never increase during the life of the loan.
|
|
Q:
|
What are the advantages of an Adjustable Rate Mortgage (ARM)?
|
|
A:
|
An ARM may come with a lower monthly payment amount than a fixed rate mortgage, which means you may qualify for a larger mortgage.
|
|
Q:
|
Why would I want a Fixed Rate Mortgage vs. ARM?
|
|
A:
|
The type of mortgage you choose depends on your needs when you are buying a home. A Century Bank Borrowing Specialist will help you understand the best mortgage for your situation.
|
|
Q:
|
What is a down payment?
|
|
A:
|
The down payment on the purchase of a home is the amount of cash you pay up front with the bank financing the remainder of the purchase price. Your Century Bank Borrowing Specialist will discuss all loan and down payment options available to you.
|
|
Q:
|
What is Private Mortgage Insurance (PMI)?
|
|
A:
|
PMI is required when your down payment is less than 20% of the purchase price of a home. Your Century Bank Borrowing Specialist will tell you if this insurance applies to your situation and, if so, will estimate the cost for you.
|
|
Q:
|
What is an appraisal?

|
|
Q:
|
What is escrow?
|
|
A:

Escrow is an account the bank holds in your name for amounts collected monthly along with your mortgage payments to cover taxes and/or insurance. When these obligations are due, the bank makes the payments for you.
|
|
Q:
|
What is a point?
|
|
A:

A point is a percentage of a mortgage amount, paid by the borrower to obtain the mortgage. Most of Century Bank’s loans do not come with points.

What are closing costs?
|
|
A:

|
|
Q:
|
What is a home inspection?
|
|
A:
|
A home inspection is optional but always a good idea. As the buyer of a property, you hire a professional home inspector to examine it and identify potential problems with the infrastructure that you should be aware of before you agree to complete the purchase.
|
|
Q:
|
What is a jumbo loan?
|
|
A:

A jumbo loan is a mortgage that exceeds the maximum loan amount established by Fannie Mae (the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation). Jumbo loans are also referred to as non-conforming loans.

Overdraft Bounce Protection Practices
We clear items drawn against your account in the following order:
(a) electronic transactions (electronic funds transfers, pre-authorized debits, debit card transactions, ATM transactions or other withdrawal requests); and (b) checks, in numerical sequence with lower numbers paid first, and other payments. If you maintain your checking account in good standing (defined as making regular deposits and bringing your account to a positive balance at least once every 30 days) and there are no legal orders outstanding, we may approve your reasonable overdraft. You may opt out of the privilege at any time by calling our Customer Service Center at (866) 823-6887, stopping by one of our conveniently located
branches, or visiting CenturyBank.com and selecting the “contact us” tab to opt out of our overdraft Bounce Protection service. However, you are responsible for any overdrawn balances at the time of opting out. The amount of any overdraft plus our insufficient funds fee that you owe us shall be due and payable upon demand. If there is an overdraft paid by us on an account with more than one (1) owner on the signature card, each owner and agent, if applicable, drawing/presenting the item creating the overdraft, shall be jointly and severally liable for such overdraft plus our normal insufficient funds fee.
Limitations: Overdraft Bounce Protection is available to individually/ jointly owned and business accounts in good standing. Accounts of those under eighteen years of age are not eligible for the overdraft Bounce Protection product. Century Bank reserves the right to limit participation to one account per household or business and to discontinue this service without prior notice. The overdraft Bounce Protection program will not be available to new checking accounts until the account has been opened for 30 days and during that time, deposits to the account must be 80% of the predetermined limits of overdraft Bounce Protection assigned to that account type.
