Rates

BOK Financial publishes rates for conventional mortgages on its website daily, but these are based on a generic set of assumptions. For rates based on your individual situation, contact the company directly.

BOK Financial’s interest rates have generally been only slightly higher than the national average (a 0.02% difference in 2021) — though, keep in mind that interest rates are affected by several personal factors, including borrowers’ credit history. Borrowers with excellent credit (800 and above) are more likely to get better interest rates than borrowers with lower credit scores. It’s possible that BOK Financial attracts borrowers within a wider credit score range, and that may account for slightly higher average rates.

BOK Financial offers both fixed-rate and adjustable-rate mortgages (ARMs). ARMs usually have a lower introductory rate that’s fixed for a set length of time, generally three to 10 years, then the rate begins to adjust based on the market. The low introductory rates of ARMs are often attractive to borrowers, but costs can increase significantly once these rates begin to adjust.

There are circumstances when an ARM can be beneficial, though. If you only plan to live in your current home for a few years and can sell before the rate resets, you can save a good deal of money. But, with interest rates on the rise in 2022, you want to think carefully about all possible future scenarios.

Application process

You can start the application process on BOK Financial’s website. First, you’ll need to create an account with a valid email address.

You can then start the pre-qualification process by answering a few short questions, but it’s unclear if this involves allowing the lender to conduct a hard credit check. Also, be prepared to provide information about your income and assets; BOK Financial uses these details to determine how much you can borrow.

If you are pre-qualified, the company may ask for an initial deposit to cover a home appraisal. You’ll also be connected with a mortgage banker to help you complete the remaining steps of the application process. Keep in mind that you’ll need to upload financial documents (like W-2s and bank statements) to the company’s online loan portal.

Jesslynn, a ConsumerAffairs reviewer from Maumelle, Arkansas, had this to say about the mortgage process at BOK Financial:

“We wanted to refinance our home, which we own, and get the PMI down. … Everything was done online, through email and through working with the loan officer that they assigned. The rep was very professional and very knowledgeable. I felt extremely comfortable with him. It was a good process and it took about four weeks from start to finish.”

BOK Financial Mortgage application features

Loan types

BOK Financial offers a wide variety of mortgages, including conventional loans, jumbo loans, FHA loans, VA loans and USDA loans. The company has special loans available if you’re a Native American or building a new home.

You can also refinance with BOK Financial, whether you’re looking to lower your monthly payment or get cash out, or you can get a home equity line of credit (HELOC) or a home equity loan to pay for home improvement projects or other expenses.

In 2021, there were 6,956 home purchase applications initiated with the company. Of those applications, 4,990 loans were approved and originated. A small portion of applications (527) were denied — that’s about 8% of the total.

Refinancing

In 2021, half of the loans BOK Financial originated were for refinancing (about 50% with rate-and-term and cash-out refinances combined). A third of the total (about 37%) were for home purchases. That mix will likely change by the end of 2022, given current economic trends at the time of publishing.

In 2020 and 2021, refinancing was an attractive option for borrowers due to historically low interest rates. Refinancing then could often save homeowners in the long run by locking in a lower interest rate, even after the accompanying fees and closing costs.

Since that time, interest rates have risen. For reference, the average rate for a 30-year fixed mortgage was 2.87% on Aug. 12, 2021. That rose to 5.22% roughly a year later, according to the Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis. Higher rates generally make refinancing less attractive to borrowers.

HELOC and home equity loans

BOK Financial offers both HELOC and home equity loan options, letting you borrow up to 85% of your available equity. Before you apply for either, consider your short-term and long-term goals to see which may be a better fit for your situation.

For example, a home equity loan may be best for a borrower who wants to fund a home renovation project with high upfront costs. On the other hand, a HELOC may be a better option for a homeowner who needs consistent access to cash over an extended period of time (like for expected home repairs).

Requirements

BOK Financial doesn’t specify all of its borrower requirements online. However, most lenders require at least a 620 credit score to qualify for a conventional loan. Credit score requirements are often lower for government-backed mortgages, like FHA, VA and USDA loans.

The minimum down payment for most conventional mortgages is 3%. Borrowers with at least a 580 credit score may qualify for a 3.5% down payment on an FHA loan from some lenders, while down payments are typically not required on VA or USDA loans. However, BOK Financial requires at least a 620 credit score to qualify for a 3.5% down payment on its FHA loans.

National mortgage requirements by type

Cost and fees

BOK Financial generally doesn’t disclose the fees it charges on new loans. However, the company does state some of the fees associated with its HELOCs and home equity loans. Both options come with a $180 processing fee due at closing (in addition to other closing costs you may incur). There’s also an annual maintenance fee of $50 on HELOCs after the first year.

Overall, you can expect to pay closing costs on a mortgage that are between 2% and 5% of your loan amount. Closing costs generally include appraisal fees, property taxes, homeowners insurance premiums and any loan origination fees imposed by the lender.

Knowing all the fees and charges associated with a loan is essential before you sign your loan agreement. The lender should provide a Loan Estimate within three business days of receiving your application. Some fees are nonnegotiable (like property taxes), while others could be negotiated for a discounted price (like origination fees).

    Karen ** did an absolutely amazing job getting my brother’s home financed! She worked hard to make sure everything was done right and met the deadline with time to spare. Her customer service skills were top-notch — always respectful, patient, and professional. Even though she looks like she could be a fashion model, Karen never hesitated to roll up her sleeves and get the job done. She went above and beyond to make the whole process smooth and stress-free. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone dependable, dedicated, and truly caring about her clients!

    I got ripped off by a merchant and the customer service department dropped the ball and allowed the merchant to retain the funds when they clearly ripped me off. I can get over the loss of dollars but I can’t get over BOK not standing by a long time customer. Just know that they don’t care at all.

      My personal mortgage broker (who was working for another institution before BOK bought them out) was completely amazing! My service from BOK with my mortgage afterward was frustrating due to way too many hours chasing around gathering documents and conferring with various people in charge of their loan retention team about going through a process that wasn't even possible to begin with. Excruciatingly painful to waste that much time, energy and emotional turmoil being strung around all for nothing. Train your people better to answer correctly and not waste people's lives. Also they need to have better options for transferring names in divorce situations. Even though ALL the legal documents say the home is in one person's name - the bank won't honor the LEGAL document even when the loan is easily taken on by the credit-worthy party that owns the home. So frustrating!! Do better please.

      I used to be with Go Mortgage for around 7 years. Everything was working out great, till my loan got transferred to BOK Financial. Then it went downhill from there. They never sent a single mortgage statement and kept charging me late fees. Customer service told me they sent me email statements. I checked in my email and there was nothing. Setting up auto pay is an awful experience, once you set up it takes 2 months to get in effect. It's unfortunate that companies use sneaky practices to charge their customers.

They *only* snail-mail them, and it took more than 3 weeks, holding up my refi. Of course, they have a recorded statement all days and times, "we are experiencing higher than normal call volumes, we apologize for the wait." Nonsense! Call volumes are what they are. If you call to apply for a new loan, there is no wait time, but once you are their customer they simply don't care. AVOID BOK Financial at all costs!

      BOK Financial reached out to me to find out if I wanted to refinance because it was an opportunity to get rid of my PMI and lower my mortgage payment. Their rep, Michelle, was great. She was extremely helpful and responsive. She walked me through the process. I also had an issue with the notary. It was supposed to be a situation where they would come to my home but the person called me and spent a great deal of time talking to me about how allergic they are to pets, and I'd have to confine my dogs. Then he didn’t wanna come to my house because even the fact there had been dogs here would be a problem. I told him that it was his job to go to people's homes. It was getting dramatic.

      We made arrangements to meet at a nearby Starbucks. The guy went to the wrong Starbucks and they got salty with me on the phone because he was in the wrong place. I provided them the feedback because, at that point, it was like a comic relief in that respect, but Michelle definitely took steps to make sure it was resolved. I wasn't looking for financial compensations but she said that it was just ridiculous and we couldn't have that. They refunded a portion of the cost.

      There was a pretty significant difference between the initial conversations we had, the estimate of what the closing cost would be, and what they actually ended up being. It was something that really struck me when I got the final paperwork. But at that point, I was so far down the road and I still went forward with it. Michelle was able to explain to me why that was the case. She was willing to talk to me through the concerns I had.

A friend showed me how you can pay your bills online and pay earlier, which takes a few days before it comes out of your bank. She got me all set up. I paid all my bills and was getting paid in two days. BOK took it up automatically so I have $800 in overdraft fees. I was in tears when I went in there. I said that if I paid that, I won’t be able to pay my mortgage. Even though it has been 16 years, they were so nice and forgave every one of the fees. I appreciated that so, I stuck with them all these years. They have been wonderful to me, which was why I wanted to use them for my mortgage. DJ, the rep was wonderful.

      We got to refinance and we closed on time with BOK Financial. The process took about two months to complete, but most of that was because we were travelling. I had to get everybody on emails of the forms back and forth to each other and I was okay with that timeframe. The rep I worked with also did a good job overall. When we move, we have to buy a house, and this time, it was a little bit different because we only had contact with him over the phone and I’m a type of person who likes to meet people in person.

      Other than that, some of the fees could have been waived because with Wells Fargo, they have waived certain fees in the past and my last two financial intuitions had waived fees as well. So, that's something BOK needs to look at because some of the fees they charge are ridiculous. Why charge so many money to verify employment? You have a W-2 Form for that. We’re in Oklahoma right now and I’ll be buying a house in the next six months. This time, I will be shopping on who will waive certain fees because I’m not gonna pay all those fees like I did with BOK.

We chose them and they gave us really good rates, so I stuck with them. Jim helped me and he was pretty much beck and call. He was willing to drive after work to meet up with. I didn't have him do that, but he was willing to. I was sending emails and he'd get back with me in 10 to 15 minutes. I'd have an email back even if it was 8 o'clock at night. So, he was really good about everything and he really helped me through the whole process of refinance.

      I love working with Jim. There was a couple of other options that we had, and he helped work through it and get the best rates and figure everything out. It was a good experience overall and I always tell friends about BOK if they're doing anything with loans. I also had a friend who bought a house a little while before I refinanced and I'm sure he's BOK.

      I did a mortgage refinance with BOK Financial and the process was easy. Application took 15 minutes but to get it to underwriting took 2 weeks since my originator was on vacation. I hope they have more support for my originator because when he was out on vacation, it all stopped. The person backing him up was also off, so there was no backup. Still, customer service has been good and I'm very comfortable working with them. It was an estate planning goal and it helped us fulfill moving towards retirement planning.

      BOK Financial Mortgage was my current lender and I stayed with them. They had a really low interest rate and we had a 30-year fixed VA loan. I called the same representative I used for my last loan. Every time I had a question, I just called her and it was easy. I went through the whole process of applying for the loan, which seemed to be easier than other lenders I’ve used in the past. The application and underwriting process took 30 days.

      I had a perfect payment history, but it still seemed that they needed to treat me as though I’d never had a loan with them before. So, they had the credit checks as though I was a new applicant. I wish they would've just taken my current payment history and my previous loan into consideration. Also, I noticed that some of their fees were higher that most other banks. It was probably because their rate was lower than other banks, and so maybe they felt justified in higher fees. But all the staff I’ve worked with were very friendly and the service was good.

      I was financed by BOK and I did a refinance with them because of the cheaper interest. I called Daniel or Jay and got it going with him. I was gonna refinance with someone else, but BOK beat their interest rate which is what it boiled down to. I also didn't have to get any appraisal, so that was a bonus 'cause that's an extra 1,500 to 2000. During the application process, they left out few details in the end which I had to jump through hoops, but that's just what it is. The application and underwriting took no time, but I got ACE Credit so it was very simple. If something would have been done differently, it is to be able to sign the paperwork online and be done or not have to have somebody come to my house and jump through hoops. It's a pain. The first time I did it with them, I didn't physically sign papers. Still, working with BOK Financial saved me money.

      I’ve used BOK in the past for my mortgage and I’m a current banker with them. I went with the conventional loan and the process was handled fine. It took a week and it was very easy overall. I was concerned about my well-being as far as making sure that I wasn’t getting into something over my head and something that wasn’t right. And the consultant was very helpful.

      Since I already had my existing loan through BOK Financial Mortgage, I thought it would be a little easier. But I felt like I was sold on something that they couldn’t actually promise. It wasn’t the greatest experience. I was telling the advisors I was shopping around and the competitor that I was gonna go with which was Randolph-Brooks wasn’t going to be to able to close until late January. The competitor’s fees were cheaper though. Bok sold me on being able to close the house in late December. It turned out that I couldn’t close at the end of December. It was gonna be moved to early January. I couldn’t close in early January and it ended up closing late January, down to the last day before my existing mortgage was gonna be considered 30 days late.

      They told me, “Hey, you wouldn’t have to make a mortgage payment. We’re gonna close way before. You have plenty of time and then this way, you wouldn’t have a new payment till March.” But then, I was getting calls from the collecting agency from Bank of Texas saying I was past due. Some of the issues that we were running across were that the bank and the mortgage company fall under the same umbrella but they didn’t communicate very well. Also, the title company needed some paperwork showing that I had a home equity loan paid off. I was told from the very beginning this wouldn’t be an issue. I found out later on that it was gonna be an issue, and so I said I would just pay it off. It was ten grand. I got the money together and paid it off.

      And then they needed a request from the bank, the payoff statement. So, they sent one but didn’t have the account number. They then requested a different form that actually had the account number. The bank provided it but then it wasn’t signed. These all caused the delay in closing as well. I was pretty dissatisfied with BOK. Now that everything is done, I'm a little wiser. If someone else is gonna offer me an opportunity to be able to go with a lower rate and still keep the same closing date, and that was an option, then I'm probably gonna go that route.

      I went through divorce, and so, I had to pay my ex off. And I have another house that has been completely paid for that I had to take the mortgage out on in order to do that. I also needed to pay off the loan. I was given really good rates on the mortgage that I had on the home with BOK and I was happy with them. Another thing I like about BOK is they don’t sell the loans.

      I’ve got cash-out refi. I had the house completely paid for and then I took cash from it. The application process was painless and efficient. It took maybe a week or so. Jim has been the only lender I ever work ‘cause he’s very trustworthy. He was a straight shooter. So, if he can do something for you, he tells you. If he can’t, he’ll tell you that as well. And he doesn’t come up with hidden costs later down the road when you’re thinking, “Okay, this is what we got,” and then, the all bait-and-switch type of thing. I did work in the past with lenders that would tell you one thing and then on the midnight hour changed it or it had some hidden costs there. With Jim, everything’s straightforward and transparent, which is what I really like. And this isn’t the first transaction he’s done, not only for me. I’ve recommended him to family, friends and colleagues of how well he’s done.

      Working with BOK impacted me in a very positive way because of the interest rates. Prior to years ago, when I first met Jim, I was with Wells Fargo looking to refinance and they couldn’t compete with the rates and the terms. So, I wanted to try BOK. I was a little nervous because they were out of state. But everything went very smoothly. I have a 15-year loan with them for a few years at 2.75 fixed rate. Now, unfortunately, it's a 4.5 at a 30-year ‘cause it’s not my primary residence that I pull it from.

      Now that everything’s closed, Jim can get my primary residence down to 3.5. My ex didn’t allow that to happen, unfortunately. So, it wound up costing me more to get that down. That has no reflection on Jim. Jim told us what was the best thing to do and how to do it. I can just refinance. It’s just a difference between closing costs. I don’t know how the rates would change, if they’d change for the better or the worse, upfront, in a couple months’ time. But I am gonna be reaching out to Jim here shortly. And we’ve already discussed and he already knows that I’m coming to refi and put the loan back on my primary residence, not my investment home.

      We were ready to buy a new house, which was going to be our first. We were referred to BOK by a Realtor and we ended up getting the best interest rate with BOK and low fees. Everything went smoothly. We got pre-approved back in December and then decided which house to buy. It was really easy to communicate with everyone. They replied fast to all the emails and they were professional. Being a first-time homebuyer, we asked a lot more questions. We got a lot of information and advice, so that was good. I'm happy with the way that everything went and it's exciting 'cause now we own a house. I've also told my dad to get refinanced with BOK.

      There was a guy named Sam that work there at BOK Financial. I’ve done loans with him for years. There was also somebody else that helped with the refinancing and they all did super good. Everything is super smooth with them. There were no issues and I felt comfortable. However, there is money left in escrow that was supposed to be mailed to me, and I asked them when it would be or what the dollar amount is, and nobody really could answer that. So, I’m just kind of standing by to wait if I get a check. They know all the dollars that are coming in, so I would expect they would know the dollars that are going out, too. But it’s odd to me that nobody could find that figure. I’m assuming that it kinda disappeared. They said, “Usually two or three weeks.” That’s fine. But it could be better and more precise.

      I refiled my mortgage with BOK. Their rates sealed the deal for me. The people I dealt with were very responsive. We really appreciated that. The application process is lengthy. It took quite a few weeks. We have a complicated financial structure ‘cause of other properties we own. But they were very patient and did their due diligence. Everybody was very professional and friendly. They did a great job.
