Amerisave's deposit policy is clearly stated at the time of deposit, and it is not unlike most companies' policies in the industry. The policy states: The borrower(s) acknowledge that Amerisave accepts loan applications and issues conditional loan approvals based on the information provided on the customer's application. In consideration of Amerisave accepting this loan application, and to begin processing the loan, Amerisave requires an application deposit of $395.00 at the time we lock in your rate. This deposit will be applied towards borrower's total closing costs/charges during the processing of your loan and is not an additional fee. By requesting a rate lock, borrower(s) acknowledges that the application must be conditionally approved before Amerisave can lock the rate selected. Rates are subject to change based on market conditions. In the event that Amerisave is unable to lock in the requested rate for any reason, Amerisave will not charge the Borrower or the Co-Borrower the application deposit of $395.00. After we have locked your interest rate and registered your loan, should you choose to cancel your application the deposit is non-refundable unless required by law. If your loan is declined for reasons such as income verification, appraisal issues or other factors not considered in the pre-approval process, the balance of the deposit is refundable after third party charges have been paid. If you feel you were charged in error and deserve a refund, please ask your loan advisor to speak to his or her manager.
