Mortgage rate discounts tied to asset transfers change before the transfer completes
Banks offer mortgage rate reductions contingent on customers transferring significant assets into the bank, but the promised rate can shift due to market conditions between the initial offer and when the transfer completes, without this contingency being clearly disclosed upfront. Customers who commit significant funds based on a verbal quote can end up with a different rate than expected.
