In other news, FNBA has introduced three new lending products
with 100 percent financing options—Arizona Express, the
5-Year Hybrid Cash Management Adjustable-Rate Mortgage (ARM) and
100 percent financing on alt-A fixed and ARM products with lender
paid mortgage insurance.
Arizona Express is a streamlined documentation program designed

products, 100 percent financing on alt-A fixed and ARM products
with lender-paid mortgage insurance accommodates customers via
streamlined underwriting guidelines, expanded credit parameters and
faster closings.
