We remain committed to delivering industry leading service and low turn times. However, the spread of the Coronavirus (COVID-19) may require the adjustment of underwriting timelines and closing dates. As always, we strive to exceed expectations and keep borrowers informed at every turn. If you have any questions, please reach out to your Interfirst home loan advisor.

Have an underwriting question?

In order to further assist our broker partners, Interfirst has implemented an
underwriting scenarios email box!

The purpose of the scenario inbox is to:


  • Analyse and answer scenario questions prior to loan submission
  • Proactively address possible loan issues up front
  • Clarify documentation and guideline requirements
  • Suggest alternative solutions

Questions should be sent to uwscenario@interfirst.com



Note: The UW Scenario Inbox is designated for scenario questions only. The underwriter managing the UW Scenario Inbox is unable to calculate income, pre-underwrite a loan, or review a customer’s specific documentation. Please direct all questions related to loans in process to your team or the underwriter of record.
