What is a VA home loan?

VA loans are home mortgages backed by the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA). With a VA loan, eligible service members and veterans can refinance a home with little or no equity to get cash out or to lower their monthly payment. U.S. Bank offers 15- and 30-year options. Check out today’s 30-year VA refinance rates.

As an approved lender for the VA Home Loan Guarantee Program, U.S. Bank can offer service members, veterans, and eligible surviving spouses favorable terms on all types of home mortgage products. And if you don’t meet the qualifications for a VA loan, FHA loans offer similar advantages, including lower borrower equity requirements. Contact a mortgage loan officer today for more information about VA home loans and current VA mortgage rates.

VA home loan benefits and considerations

Lower monthly payments

VA loans do not require mortgage insurance. The VA guarantees a portion of your loan, thereby saving you this monthly expense. Use our mortgage refinance calculator to get an estimate of your monthly payments.

Simplified approval process

VA loans were designed to offset common financial challenges faced by military families and veterans, and to simplify the approval process.

Military Banking Services
