Affordable monthly payments & flexibility to refinance

Why Choose a 10/10 ARM? Because buying your first home or upgrading to your next comes with big decisions—including how you finance it. 

A 10/10 ARM (Adjustable-Rate Mortgage) gives you a decade of fixed-rate stability, then adjusts only once every 10 years after that. That means you get a lower starting rate than most fixed loans, more affordable monthly payments, and the flexibility to refinance or relocate before the rate ever changes!

Future flexibility

A 10/10 ARM is designed for life in motion. If you plan to move or relocate, grow your family, or upgrade your home in the next 5–10 years, this loan gives you lower upfront costs without locking you into a long-term rate. 

Even if plans shift, you’ve got 10 full years of payment stability—and the option to refinance later. For many Gesa members, it’s the best of both worlds: more buying power today, more options tomorrow.

Start with a preapproval

Knowing your budget is the best first step. A preapproval shows sellers you’re serious and helps you shop with confidence.

We’ll look at your income, credit, and assets, then give you a personalized estimate of what you can afford. Whether you’re a first-time buyer or a seasoned homeowner, preapproval is key to a smoother, faster homebuying experience.

Fixed Certificate[APY]

A penalty may be imposed for early withdrawal. Fees may reduce earnings. The minimum balance to open the certificate is stated in the chart.

Early withdrawal penalties apply (a penalty may be imposed for withdrawals before maturity):

If your account has an original maturity (term) of less than 12-months: The penalty will equal 90 days interest on the amount withdrawn subject to penalty.

If your account has an original maturity (term) of 12-months or more – up to, but less than 36-months: The penalty will equal 180 days interest on the amount withdrawn subject to penalty.

If your account has an original maturity of 36-months or more – up to, but less than 48-months: The penalty will equal 365 days interest on the amount withdrawn subject to penalty.

If your account has an original maturity of 48-months or greater: The penalty will equal 540 days interest on the amount withdrawn subject to penalty.

In certain circumstances such as the death or incompetence of an owner of this account, the law permits, or in some cases requires, the waiver of the early withdrawal penalty. For any account which earns an interest rate that may vary during the term such as a bump certificate, the interest rate we will use to calculate this early withdrawal penalty will be the interest rate in effect at the time of the withdrawal. You may make withdrawals of principal from your account before maturity. In making such withdrawals, your balance may not fall below the minimum or we will close your account. Principal withdrawn before maturity is included in the amount subject to early withdrawal penalty. You can withdraw interest only on the crediting dates without penalty.

A $500 minimum deposit is required for consumer, IRA, and business certificates. Early withdrawal penalties may apply and may reduce earnings. Certificate rate is for a limited time only and could end at any time. Stated rate as of the first day of the month.

Bump Certificates are only available for consumer and IRA Certificates. Early withdrawal penalties will apply. Minimum deposit balance must be maintained to earn APY and fees may reduce earnings on the account. Special offer for a limited time only.
