To qualify for this guarantee, the following must be met: (1) you must provide a locally-based, licensed lender's system-generated locked Loan Estimate (LE) stating the specific lender's name and dated within 1 business day of the pricing quoted by Leaders Credit Union (Leaders); (2) LE must have pricing for the same loan program offered by Leaders and such pricing must be equal to or less than the pricing quoted by Leaders; and (3) Leaders must be able to verify the accuracy of the other lender's pricing as stated on such LE. If you qualify for this guarantee, then Leaders, in its sole discretion, may either (1) offer the mortgage to you at a price that is $250 less than the other lender's pricing or (2) pay you $1,000 upon Leaders' receipt from you of proof of your loan closing with the lender that was used to qualify for this guarantee. For purposes of this guarantee, the following shall have the meanings set out herein: (1) "pricing" shall consist of the interest rate, points, and lender fees that are typically listed in the LE; (2) "locally-based" shall mean a licensed lender with a physical location within Leaders' market area; and (3) "proof of loan closing" shall mean a copy of the signed Note and of the Closing Disclosure, for the loan set out in the locked LE.
