Buying a Home

Mortgage Pre-Qualification

A mortgage pre-qualification is the first step in the mortgage process. It is not an approval or guarantee of credit. Our mortgage pre-qualification calculator provides you with an approximate mortgage amount you may qualify for based on the information you provide (but not verified).

If you would like to receive a mortgage pre-qualification letter from SCU Credit Union, simply click on the button below, complete and print the calculator information and email it to: mbrservice@scucu.com with your contact information. You can also stop in at one of our branch locations for assistance or reach out to our member service call center at 781-784-7725 or toll free at 1-877-661-3300.
