MONTREAL, Nov. 2, 2018 /CNW Telbec/ - National Bank is pleased to give its Personal Banking clients the possibility of applying for mortgage loan pre-approval remotely, making their experience even faster, easier and more convenient.

Future homebuyers can apply for mortgage pre-approval online in just a few steps. If their application is accepted, they'll receive a certificate within two business days confirming the amount the Bank will lend them and the rate it is guaranteeing for 90 days.
