Why Firmway Is Different
Two Sources of Cash. One Mortgage.
Lender cashback
Some Canadian lenders offer cashback through eligible mortgage programs. Availability may depend on factors such as the mortgage program, qualification requirements, rate, mortgage amount and applicable lender conditions. Provided by the lender
Extra cash from Firmway
Qualified clients may also receive additional cash from Firmway from a portion of Firmway's brokerage compensation. This is separate from any cashback that may be available from the lender. Provided by Firmway

What Affects Your Cash / Eligibility
What can affect mortgage cashback eligibility?
Mortgage type
Purchase, renewal, transfer or refinance.
Mortgage amount
Available programs may vary based on the size and structure of the mortgage.
Lender program
Cashback availability depends on eligible lender programs.
Qualification
Mortgage qualification requirements still apply.
Timing
Your purchase closing date or mortgage renewal date may affect available options.

Firmway reviews mortgage opportunities based on province and serviceability.
Where available and where you qualify, both incentives may contribute to the overall value of your mortgage transaction.
COMPARE YOUR OPTIONS
Cashback or Lower Rate?
A larger cashback amount does not automatically mean a better mortgage. The right comparison considers both the immediate benefit and the potential long-term mortgage cost.
More Cash Upfront
- Greater immediate cash
- Mortgage rate may differ
- Lender clawback may apply
- Additional lender requirements may apply
Lower Rate Over Time
- Less immediate cash
- Potentially lower borrowing cost
- Different mortgage conditions
- May better suit longer-term priorities

Terms, Clawbacks and Firmway Payment Timing
Clawbacks and Firmway Payment Timing
Cashback mortgage programs may include conditions that should be understood before making a decision.
What is a cashback clawback?
Some lender cashback programs may require all or part of the cashback to be repaid if specific program conditions are not met — for example, if the mortgage does not remain in place as originally agreed. The conditions that trigger repayment, and how the repayment is calculated, vary by lender and mortgage program and are set out in the lender’s own documentation.
What happens if I break my mortgage early?
Mortgage terms, prepayment penalties and cashback conditions may all affect the cost of ending or changing a mortgage before the end of the term. Where cashback was received, the lender’s program terms may also apply. These elements should be reviewed together before making a decision.
Are there additional product requirements?
It depends on the lender and the mortgage program. Some programs may be connected to accounts, products or ongoing relationship requirements, while others may not. Firmway reviews the requirements attached to each available option so you can see them clearly before proceeding.
Do all cashback mortgages have the same conditions?
No. Terms, rates, restrictions and requirements may differ between lenders and between programs offered by the same lender. Two mortgages with similar cashback may have very different overall conditions.
Why does Firmway compare total cost?
Because cashback is only one part of the mortgage’s overall financial value. The rate, term, requirements, restrictions and estimated total cost all contribute to what the mortgage is actually worth over time.
Always review the specific lender terms and mortgage documentation before proceeding.
Lender cashback
Payment timing depends on the lender and eligible mortgage program. The applicable lender terms determine when and how the cashback is provided.

For eligible Firmway transactions: Firmway payment is initiated within 24 hours after funding requirements are confirmed.

FAQ
Mortgage cashback questions
Clear answers about how cashback works in Canada, what affects eligibility and what to review before deciding.
Can I receive lender cashback and additional cash from Firmway?
Qualified clients may receive available lender cashback plus additional cash from Firmway. The two amounts come from different sources and may have different terms and conditions.
What is mortgage cashback in Canada?
Mortgage cashback is an incentive that may be available on certain eligible lender mortgage programs. Where offered, the lender provides a cash amount as part of the mortgage transaction, subject to the program’s own terms and client qualification.
How does mortgage cashback work?
Cashback is attached to a specific lender program. The lender sets the availability, amount, timing and conditions, and the client must meet the mortgage qualification requirements. Firmway reviews the available programs and explains the conditions attached to each one.
Can I get cashback on a mortgage renewal?
Possibly. Cashback availability at renewal depends on the lender programs available to you at that time and on your qualification. Comparing your renewal offer against other available options is the way to find out.
Can I get cashback when switching lenders?
Transferring a mortgage to another lender may provide access to programs that include cashback. Whether it makes sense depends on the rate, any transfer or discharge costs, the requirements and the estimated total mortgage cost.
Do I have to repay mortgage cashback?
Some lender programs require all or part of the cashback to be repaid if the program conditions are not met — for example if the mortgage is ended early. The specific clawback terms are set out in the lender’s mortgage documentation.
Is cashback better than a lower mortgage rate?
Not automatically. A lower rate may save more over the term in some situations, while upfront cash may matter more in others. The complete comparison includes the rate, cashback, requirements, restrictions and estimated total cost.
How much cashback can I receive?
Amounts vary by lender, mortgage program, mortgage amount and qualification. Firmway does not advertise fixed figures because available amounts depend on the options you actually qualify for.
Is there a credit check to start?
No. The initial inquiry requires no credit check and no income documents. A Firmway representative reviews your inquiry before any detailed mortgage application is required.
Does cashback affect my mortgage rate?
It can. Programs that include cashback may carry different rates or conditions than programs without it, which is why the rate and the cashback should always be compared together.
Can I use cashback for closing costs?
Where cashback is available and received, clients often apply it toward costs such as closing costs, moving expenses or renovations. How and when funds are provided depends on the lender’s program terms.
How do I know if I qualify?
Qualification depends on the lender program and your individual circumstances, including the mortgage type, amount, timing and location. A Firmway representative can review which options may be available to you.
