Refinancing
Refinancing can lower your mortgage payments. However, it does not eliminate your debt.
Refinancing can help you:
- Consolidate debt into one mortgage that may level out or reduce your payments
- Reduce the terms of your mortgage for faster home ownership
- Change the type of loan you have
- Give you cash from your home’s equity
Homeowner Reemployment
Facing unemployment and having a mortgage is difficult. Fifth Third Bank is proud to partner with NextJob in an innovative solution to help mortgage borrowers find jobs. Mortgage borrowers who are at risk of default may receive NextJob services fully paid for by Fifth Third.
NextJob will work with customers in three ways:
- One-on-one job coaching
- Access to job search software and training
- Access to weekly webinars on job searching
