PenFed Offers Adjustable-Rate Mortgages (ARMs) to Suit Your Needs

What is an Adjustable-Rate Mortgage (ARM)?

An Adjustable-Rate Mortgage typically starts with a fixed rate for a set period of time and then adjusts at set intervals. Typically, ARMs come in different options in which the fixed rate is set for three, five, seven or ten years. After this initial fixed period, the rate can adjust in 6 month intervals depending on market conditions.
