We’re pumped to share our MogoMortgage product won the Canadian Mortgage Award for Best Use of Mobile Technology! We launched our MogoMortgage product earlier this year to give Canadians an innovative digital experience for mortgage seekers on the go.

As a first time home buyer, it can be confusing and stressful figuring out exactly what you need to qualify for a mortgage. So, we’re breaking it down for you so you can focus on all the other exciting stuff (like house hunting!). After all, your first time should be amazing. When you’re getting a mortgage, lenders base your approval on factors about you and your credit history as well as the the property you’re buying. Your mortgage specialist will walk you through all the details and help you through the whole process, but we’re giving you a head start with this handy guide. What you need…  Credit Score Aim for a credit score of over 680. It’ll allow you to qualify for more in terms of your mortgage. That being said, there are lenders that will give you great rates for credit scores as low as 640, and on a case by case basis may go lower depending on other factors. Canadian lenders have to follow specific rules for mortgages with a down payment that’s less than 20%. These rules are set by qualifying ratios called

Your credit score is basically your adult report card. It matters when it comes time to make big life decisions like buying your dream place. The higher your score the better. It’s used by lenders and financial institutions to determine whether your credit-worthy or not. In general, a low score could mean you’re declined on a loan or receive a higher interest rate, while a higher score allows for lower interest rates and better options when it comes to things like getting a mortgage and borrowing money. Your credit score number basically tells lenders how likely your are to repay money you borrow, based on how you’ve handled your financial obligations in the past. If you didn’t know it was this important, don’t worry. You’re not alone…. • 47% of Canadians don’t know where to check their credit score • 81% of Canadians don’t realize that an employer may check their credit score when being considered for a job • 61% of Canadians don’t know that landlords often look at credit scores as part of a rental application • 51% of Canadians don’t know that small business lenders look at credit scores when approving

You have a chequing account, and probably a savings account...But what about a spending account?  Think about it this way: Say you have all of your pay cheque going into your chequing account, and all your bills, savings and fixed costs are coming out of that account. And you’re using your debit card that’s linked to that account for your day-to-day spending. That’s a recipe for blowin’ your budget. So, we created a way for you to move your spending money into a separate account, keep things in check, and avoid overspending!  The Mogo Spending Account is designed to help you monitor and control your spending in a convenient and engaging way, with features like instant transaction alerts to your phone with each purchase and updated real-time balance. There are no monthly account fees and unlike a regular credit card, using the MogoCard means there is no risk of overdraft fees or interest charges. We know what you’re thinking. You thought you were being smart by using your debit card rather than racking up credit card debt. It’s a good

Recently, we noticed some not-so-hot customer feedback on our social channels about our customer service wait times. Like this one...  Not good. 😭 Making sure you’re happy is super important to us. Like, lose-sleep-over-it important to us. So, we had to fix this.  We looked at our customer service communication methods, and decided to majorly improve our Online Chat feature, to give you a super easy, efficient way to talk to us and get rid of those yucky wait times. We can take care of pretty much anything related to your account through our chat tool. 👍 (Like, getting that loan, making extra payments, and lots more...) Here’s what we changed: Online Chat is now available within your MogoApp, your mobile web browser, and of course desktop. You can get to Online Chat from multiple pages on our site (like our Help Centre, and when you’re logged into your account), so if you run into trouble, we’re there to help. Our chat tool will recognise you if you’re logged in to your MogoAccount, meaning you don’t have to waste time
