Our local lenders are committed to providing the expert advice and personal service you deserve. However, for your convenience, a mortgage loan application is available online to help get you started.

Please contact us if you have questions or are not sure if your taxes are escrowed.

If your property taxes or your homeowner’s insurance are escrowed on your loan, it is possible that one of those payments increased and your monthly loan payment was adjusted to cover the additional cost. If you have an Adjustable -Rate Loan, it is also possible that your interest rate changed, causing an increase in your payment amount. Feel free to contact us for additional information.

If you finance more than 80 percent of the appraised value of your home, mortgage insurance may be required and added to your monthly payment amount.

There are three ways to cover overdrafts:

1. Establish Overdraft Protection. This service links your checking account to another deposit account you have with us. With this option, overdrafts will be transferred in increments of $100. There is a $3 transfer fee to cover the overdraft. This is your least costly way to cover overdrafts.
2. Utilize your standard Overdraft Privilege.* This service allows you to overdraft your account up to the disclosed limit for a $35 per overdraft fee in order to pay for the transaction. Even if you have Overdraft Protection, Overdraft Privilege is available as secondary coverage if the other funds are exhausted.
3. Overdraft Privilege with Extended Coverage builds on Overdraft Privilege by extending the ability to overdraft your account to both withdrawals at an ATM and debit card purchases. Click here for more details.

*An overdrawn balance must be repaid within 32 days. We may not pay items under your Overdraft Privilege if you do not maintain your account in good standing by bringing your account to a positive balance within every 32-day period for a minimum of 24 hours, if you default on any loan or other obligation to Charlotte State Bank & Trust, or if your account is subject to any legal or administrative order or levy.
