Fifth Third's mortgage division has launched the Community Reinvestment Mortgage Special, a program designed to cover closing costs for mortgage customers buying or refinancing homes in low-income areas.
Through the program, Fifth Third pays the lender's closing costs, between $600 and $2,000, the $142 billion-asset company said in a news release. The program also extends assistance to low-income buyers financing a purchase in any of the 12 states where the bank has branches.
