Bank of America, National Association vs U.S. Bank National Association

Both lenders' 2025 filings, side by side: the rate and the fees their borrowers actually got, and what the difference is worth over 7 years.

Over 7 years on a $245,000 loan, the median terms at Bank of America, National Association come out $14,345 cheaper.

Bank of America, National Association costs more at closing, so it only pulls ahead in month 5 — 5 months in. Leave sooner and the other side was the cheaper one.

Same loan on both sides — $245,000 over 30 years — priced at each lender's median rate and median fees for 2025. It is not a quote: HMDA records what borrowers received, and the two lenders serve different borrowers.

Figures are medians of loans actually originated in , as reported under the Home Mortgage Disclosure Act. They describe what borrowers received, not what you would be offered: HMDA contains no credit scores, so these numbers cannot be read as pricing for any individual.
