Prequalification can inform you about different mortgage options available to you and identify the most appropriate fit for your needs and goals.

A fixed-rate mortgage has a stable interest rate throughout the loan term, providing predictable monthly payments. An ARM, on the other hand, has an interest rate that may change periodically, typically after an initial fixed period. Borrowers should consider their financial goals and risk tolerance when choosing between the two.

PMI is typically required if your down payment is less than 20%. It protects the lender in case of default. Once your loan-to-value ratio improves (usually when you have 20% equity), you can request to remove PMI. Some loans, like VA and USDA loans, don't require PMI.

Closing costs are fees associated with finalizing the mortgage transaction. They may include loan origination fees, appraisal fees, title insurance, and more. Closing costs usually range from 2% to 5% of the home's purchase price. Some closing costs can be negotiated, and in some cases, the seller may contribute to these costs.

Lenders often use a debt-to-income ratio to determine how much you can afford. This ratio compares your monthly debt payments to your gross monthly income. A common guideline is that your mortgage payment should not exceed 28% of your gross income, and your total debt payments should not surpass 36%.

The down payment requirement varies, but it's often around 3% to 20% of the home's purchase price. Government-backed loans, such as FHA loans, may have lower down payment requirements. A higher down payment can lead to lower monthly payments and may impact the interest rate you receive.

Watch this video to learn how to eSign documents when completing your hybrid mortgage closing. Hybrid closings require you to eSign a portion of your closing documentation before closing with your Title company.

Developing new products, hiring employees, acquisition, entering new markets — these activities require significant capital. Unless you’ve routinely set aside excess profits for such ventures, you may need to rely on outside financing sources like equity investors and/or lenders to fund your growth plans. 

Growing a company is a time-consuming undertaking. It may introduce unwanted changes to your life, such as more stress and less leisure time. Moreover, growth isn’t guaranteed, and you may find yourself spending more without realizing a positive return on investment. 

Scaling a business can expand your customer reach and, consequently, increase sales and pad your bottom line. This growth could enable you to continue expanding, reward employees for their contributions, and/or increase your personal profits. Depending on your industry, you may even attract investors or set yourself up for an exit. 

Employing a finance professional can help you navigate early operational challenges as well as keep records neat and tidy. That said, small businesses (or even startups with large scale ambitions) don't need to hire a CFO right away — a bookkeeper suffices for most initial financial responsibilities, like handling A/R and A/P. Consider hiring a bookkeeper, part-time or full-time, while you get your business off the ground and build a customer base.

The ideal level of debt varies from company to company — one may need extensive inventory financing while another solely requires an active line of credit for occasional office expenses. The majority of small businesses tend to carry less than $100,000 in debt on their books, however, it’s not unreasonable for growing businesses to borrow $250,000 or even $1 million as they expand operations.

Borrowing is common among all businesses, big and small, especially from traditional financial institutions like banks. According to the Small Business Credit Survey, nearly three in four firms had outstanding debt in 2021. Moreover, 90% of firms entrusted either a small or large bank with their financial needs.

Generally, businesses use financing to meet operating expenses and facilitate expansion as well as to acquire, replace, or repair assets. For example, credit cards can help with small expenses, such as office supplies or travel, while equipment financing can facilitate the purchase of key assets, like company vehicles.

Not sure where to start? Centier can help you determine the right products for your business — speak with a small business banker.

 

Even if you aren’t immediately applying for financing, it’s wise to create and follow a plan. Think of your business plan as a roadmap for your company — it requires you to think through initial challenges while simultaneously directing you toward specific milestones and goals.  

An Employer Identification Number is a unique nine-digit number administered by the Internal Revenue Service that’s used to identify a business entity1.  In many cases, businesses need to have EINs, however, there are situations in which it’s not necessarily required. For instance, if you operate as a sole proprietor, an EIN may be optional2

Business owners should open separate bank accounts for their businesses. For starters, it helps establish your business as a legitimate operation in the eyes of the IRS — versus a hobby. Moreover, distinguishing between your personal and company transactions can prevent unnecessary headaches during tax season1

Depending on the initial needs of your business, you may be able to cover startup costs via personal assets, outside investors, and/or crowdsourcing. Naturally, it’s easier to fund a low-overhead venture, such as one that operates primarily online, rather than a capital-heavy one, such as a restaurant.  If your business hasn’t made money yet, it may be difficult to get a loan.  However, you may be able to lean on your personal credit scores to secure a credit card in the meantime, although that will vary by lender. You also may be able to take advantage of SBA programs designed to provide support to new businesses. As a new business owner, you’ll have to decide between cash-basis and accrual-basis accounting. Cash-basis accounting is widely regarded as the most straightforward method, while accrual-basis accounting provides a clearer, more reliable view of your financial performance. With that in mind, it’s important to speak with an accountant and financial professional about the right accounting method for your business.

Looking for more than just a checking account? At Centier we can help!

  • Open the Samsung Pay app on your eligible mobile device.

  • Scan in your card information with your devices camera. Secure your account with your fingerprint and a backup PIN.

  • Samsung Pay will perform a quick validation with Centier before the card is ready to use.


You use your new card overseas the same way as you do here in the United States. With a Centier Debit Card, after inserting your card in the chip enabled terminal, you will be prompted to either enter your PIN or sign for the purchase. After the transaction is complete, remember to take your card.

 

That depends on the merchant. If the merchant has a chip-enabled terminal, you will insert your card into the terminal. Please follow the prompts displayed on the terminal screen to complete your transaction. If the merchant does not have a chip-enabled terminal, you will swipe your card. If you are in doubt, you can ask the merchant or simply swipe your card.

 

No. Your chip card provides an additional layer of security at chip-enabled terminals; however, perpetrators continue to look for new opportunities to commit fraud. Centier will continue to provide 24 hour fraud monitoring and, as always, your Centier Visa debit, credit comes with Zero Liability Fraud Protection.

The IRS sets annual contribution limits for HSAs. In 2022, individuals may contribute up to $3,650, and families may contribute up to $7,300. If you are 55 or older, you may add another $1,000 on top of that. These limits are subject to change year to year. 1

You’re eligible if you’re covered by a qualifying High-Deductible Health Plan (HDHP). The HDHP is your only health insurance coverage. Meaning, you don’t have supplemental coverage from a spouse or other family member (dental and vision is fine). You don’t have or use a General Purpose FSA (Flexible Spending Account). But, you are allowed to have a Limited Purpose FSA for dental, vision, or a Dependent Care FSA. Note: You can have an existing HSA and open an FSA. Your HSA funds will remain, but you cannot continue contributing to the health savings account. No one else can claim you as a dependent on their tax return. You’re between the ages of 18 and 65 and not enrolled in or eligible for Medicare (Part A and Part B) or Medicaid. Read more on the health plan and personal requirements for HSA-eligibility .

 

An HSA is established by you in much the same way that you establish an IRA with a qualified trustee or custodian.

If you meet the eligibility requirements for an HSA, you, your employer, your family members, and any other person (including non-individuals) may contribute to your HSA. This is true whether you are self-employed or unemployed.

Regular and catch-up HSA contributions can be made at any time for a taxable year up to and including your federal income tax return due date, excluding extensions, for that taxable year. The due date for most taxpayers is April 15.

An HSA is not a "use it or lose it" account. Your funds will not expire if you do not use them within the year. Funds in your HSA rollover into the next calendar year when there is a balance.

Contributions to an HSA are generally fully deductible, the earnings grow tax deferred, and distributions for qualified medical expenses are tax-free. Consult with your tax or legal professional for guidance.

A checking account lets you deposit and withdraw money from a secure place so you can access it when needed, such as paying bills or shopping.

You can also withdraw funds surcharge free at over 55,000 ATMs nationwide through our partnership with Allpoint and Presto! In Addition, you can have an employer direct deposit into your account, mobile deposit checks directly through the Centier mobile app, write unlimited checks, and even utilize mobile payment services such as Apple & Google Pay. You can also set up online bill payments or send money directly to another person with our P2P (Person To Person) bank transfer process. These are just some of the exciting tools and services that let you bank the way you want at Centier.
