MORTGAGE ACCELERATOR
A mortgage loan program that resembles the hybrid of a home equity loan and a checking account. Well-known in the United Kingdom and Australia, borrowers’ paychecks are deposited directly into the mortgage account and the mortgage balance is lessened by that amount. As checks are written against the account during that month, the mortgage balance increases. Any amount placed in the account but not withdrawn via the check writing process is applied to the mortgage balance at the end of the month as repayment of principal.
