				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://easternmorningherald.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/02/wells-fargo-bank3.jpg"><img class="alignright size-full wp-image-25782" alt="Current Mortgage Rates: Wells Fargo Refinance Mortgage Rates for May 22, 2013" src="http://easternmorningherald.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/02/wells-fargo-bank3.jpg" width="179" height="128" /></a>As a multinational provider of diversified financial services, Wells Fargo (NYSE: WFC) is considered one of the premier banks in America. Some of its offerings include home loans for borrowers looking to refinance a home. The bank takes in conforming loan amounts, larger loans in eligible areas, and jumbo balances amongst others.</p>
<p>While most of the loans are offered to borrowers with high credit scores, loans that are guaranteed by the Federal Housing Administration (FHA) are also accepted by this bank. These typically come with higher rate quotes though.</p>
<p>The lender offers 30-year fixed mortgage loan for home refinancing at a rate of 3.875% with an annual percentage rate (APR) set to 4.042%. The shorter-term, 15-year fixed mortgage is listed at 2.875% and bears an overall APR of 3.165%. With regards to the FHA version of the 30-year fixed package, the starting rate is 3.750% and it feature an APR variable of 4.879%.</p>
<p>For larger loan amounts, the bank offers the 30-year fixed mortgage at an interest rate of 4.000% with an APR set to 4.126%. The 30-year fixed FHA-insured mortgage package is quoted this Friday at a rate of 3.750% and it carries a corresponding APR of 4.832%.</p>
<p>In addition, borrowers who need more flexibility in terms of interest rates may want to use the adjustable rate mortgage (ARM) options from the bank. These come with a fixed interest rate period then the rate is adjusted depending on prevailing interest rates at the reset schedule for the rest of the loan’s duration.</p>
<p>The flexible, 5-year ARM – for larger loan amounts – is available at an interest rate of 2.375% and a corresponding APR of 2.821%.</p>
<p>The rate quotes given are liable to change without notice and can vary when the loan is approved or the funds are disbursed. Contact the loan officer in charge or visit the lender’s website for more details.</p>
