Financial support for all the milestones in your life

Obtaining a loan from the bank can be a difficult and lengthy process with lots of ‘hoops’ to jump through to meet the banks stringent lending criteria. If you are retired with a limited income or are collecting payments from a public or private pension plan, getting a loan from the banks can be even more difficult as they may deem the pension income insufficient to support the new debt payments. Fortunately, there is a lender that can provide you with a loan regardless of your credit, age or income – since 1969, Alpine Credits has been Canada’s home equity lender that has helped many retirees obtain the financing they need for their retirement or family needs.

Own your home? You’re approved.

All you need to qualify for a loan is to own your home (or other real estate). Traditional banks look at factors such as your age, income, and credit history to approve you for a loan. At Alpine Credits, we focus on the amount of equity you have in your home or other real estate properties. We make the process as quick and easy as possible.

Frequently asked questions

If you are retired and want to get a loan for a financial need in your life, you might be wondering if it is possible to get a home equity loan. Equity is the difference between what your home is worth and how much you still owe on it. A home equity loan is a loan that uses the equity in your home as collateral.

If you are retired on a fixed income or taking payments from a government or private pension plan, getting a loan from the banks may be far more difficult since they might consider your pension earnings insufficient to cover the new debt obligations. Fortunately, Alpine Credits offers home equity loans to retirees, even those who are on a fixed income or pension payments, so you can get a home equity loan if you are retired.

You can qualify for a loan if you are tired, thanks to Alpine Credits home equity loans. Alpine Credits has been a leader in the commercial lending industry for over 50 years. We’re here to assist Canadian homeowners to obtain home equity loans when they require them. Homeowners with equity are accepted regardless of their credit score, age, or financial status.

The answer to this question is not a simple yes or no. Because pensioners have a regular, fixed income, some banks may be more likely to offer them a loan. Other banks may be hesitant to offer a pensioner a loan because their income is not as stable as someone who is employed. However, Alpine Credits offers home equity loans to pensioners, so you can still get a loan if you are retired and on a fixed income.
