Centreville Bank Enhances Providing Access to Secure Ownership (PASO™) Residential Mortgage Loan Product for Low-to-Moderate Income Buyers

(WEST WARWICK, R.I.) March 11, 2024 – Centreville Bank announced enhancements to the PASO™ loan product that is designed to help low-to-moderate income (LMI) buyers in Rhode Island and eastern Connecticut purchase homes.

The PASO™ product was originally launched in 2021 but has been redesigned to better support the unique challenges of today’s real estate market as inventory remains historically low and home prices have increased. 

For eligible buyers, PASO™ offers a competitive fixed rate, 100% financing and potential to waive the need for private mortgage insurance (PMI). Other financing options are also available such as down payment assistance for those that qualify. 

“Centreville Bank offers a full range of residential mortgage products that are designed to help customers make progress towards their goals of home ownership,” said Leland Merrill, executive vice president, chief lending officer. “Our hope is that the recent enhancements to the PASO™ product will make home ownership more attainable for low-to-moderate income buyers in this challenging market.”
