Business Lending Services

Commercial Mortgage Loans
Mortgage loans are secured by commercial real estate such as apartment buildings and commercial office or industrial buildings, as well as land under development. Amortization periods are typically 15 to 20 years. Interest rates can be fixed for up to 10 years or can float based on The Wall Street Journal Prime Rate or other index.

Commercial Term Loans
Washington Federal offers a variety of term loans tailored to meet your needs. Term Loans are secured by equipment or other assets. Amortization periods are typically from three to seven years and interest rates may be fixed for the term of the loan or may float with The Wall Street Journal Prime Rate or other index.

Business Lines of Credit
These revolving lines of credit provide short term cash to support accounts receivable and inventory. Used by sole proprietorships, partnerships and corporations, they typically float with The Wall Street Journal Prime Rate. Interest is billed monthly and principal is repaid as cash is collected in the normal operating cycle. Lines may be secured by accounts receivable, inventory, other real estate or may be unsecured.

Letters of Credit
A letter of credit is a substitution of the Bank’s name and credit for the client’s name and credit. Washington Federal uses an “irrevocable” letter of credit, which cannot be canceled or amended without the agreement of all parties.  The letter of credit is established with a loan agreement with the client and becomes the “liquidity” feature should the letter be called upon.  Washington Federal offers irrevocable standby letters of credit and documentary letters often used as the method of payment in international transactions.
