Westerly Community CU Launches First-Time Homebuyers Program Requiring Just 1% Down

WESTERLY, R.I.– Westerly Community Credit Union has launched a new fixed-rate mortgage program for first-time homebuyers called “Welcome Home.”

The program requires just 1% down and there is no private mortgage insurance (PMI) or points added to the mortgage.

The $476.4-million Westerly Community CU has more than 23,000 members.
