Q. What is the
Money Merge Account?
The Money
Merge Account is an online account system
that incorporates your checking and
savings accounts with an advanced line of
credit, or ALOC. Through this program,
homeowners have the ability to pay off
their 30- year mortgage in as little as
one-third of the time, without refinancing
their existing mortgage loan or increasing
minimum monthly payments.

Q. Why can’t I make extra
principal payments to my primary mortgage
and achieve the same results?
A. Simply put,
the mathematics behind MMA present a
sophisticated process that has a
substantial financial benefit over
increasing your monthly payments. The
algorithms in the proprietary MMA system
are systematically programmed to create
the highest interest savings possible in
the least amount of time. The math engines
programmed in the MMA system calculate the
specific timing and dollar amounts
required to produce the most optimum
savings on each individual mortgage and
overall financial situation.

Q. Does it make sense to move my
savings accounts over to MMA?
A. Yes, in
moving your savings into your MMA account,
you decrease even further the amount of
time left to pay off your mortgage. Your
customized online site has the ability to
build a variety of financial models to
help you understand the effect that the
money in your savings account will have in
decreasing the amount of time it will take
you to pay off your mortgage.
Back to Top
Q. Do I make monthly payments on
my line of credit?
A. Not in the
traditional sense. You will use your line
of credit similarly to your primary
checking account. Your paychecks will be
applied to your line of credit and your
monthly bills will be paid from the
account. By transferring your income each
pay period, the line of credit lender will
credit the monthly payment requirement and
lower your daily average balance, thus
reducing interest charges.

Q. If I am not increasing the
monthly payments on my mortgage, how can
this program be possible?
A. The MMA
system makes a connection between your
bank account, the advanced line of credit,
and your primary mortgage. Each time you
transfer income into your account, it
registers as a decrease to your mortgage
balance. By decreasing your mortgage
balance, you now lower the balance in
which interest accrues. By decreasing the
balance in which interest accrues, you
increase the portion of your monthly
payment which is credited toward your
principal pay down. The MMA system
determines the specific timing and amounts
for each transfer required to produce the
quickest payoff time and highest interest
savings possible. There are also multiple
financial options programmed into the MMA
software which assist homeowners in paying
down their mortgage as soon as possible.

Q. Why am I applying for a line of
credit, and how is it associated with my
savings and checking accounts?
A. The MMA
Program uses the equity line of credit
solely as a vehicle or a tool to drive the
program. The MMA system is coordinated
through systems created by United First
Financial and works independently of the
lender. The equity line of credit must
have the capacity to operate similar to a
primary checking account and be set up
with an open-end interest calculation
rather than a closed-end interest
calculation. Combined with the MMA
web-based system, this creates a formula
in which the money in your line of credit
account generates an interest cancellation
on your primary mortgage.

Q. Do I have to change banks?
A. It is not
necessary to change banks. After signing
up for the program, we have a customer
support team that will assist you in
orchestrating your banking needs with your
MMA program.
Back to Top
Q. Do you make payments for me?
A. No. We do
not have any access to your accounts. You
will be initiating all transactions by
following the prompting of your online MMA
account. You will be in complete control.
Back to Top
Q. Do you have access to or
control of my money?
A. No. You are
the only person with access to your
accounts.
Back to Top
Q. Do I pay interest on the equity
line of credit?
A. There is
interest charged on the line of credit.But
because your income is sent to your line
of credit in different intervals, the bank
adjusts the amount of interest they can
charge you by offsetting the average loan
balance. As a result, the interest charged
is greatly lessened.
Back to Top
Q. Why don’t the banks offer this
program?
A. The MMA
utilizes banking principles that are
accepted by most banks across the nation.
The MMA program simply provides you with
the necessary tools to use your money to
reduce interest, instead of the bank using
your money to earn interest. This is the
primary reason the banks do not offer the
MMA program.
Back to Top
Q. Can I contact any of your
client references to hear about their
experiences with MMA?
A. Due to
privacy regulations, we are unable to
provide personal contact information for
references. However, you can view actual
clients using the MMA program on our MMA
informational DVD and you are welcome to
research our company through the Better
Business Bureau web site at www.bbb.org
Back to Top
Q. What happens if I sell my home?
A. The MMA
program follows your mortgage until it is
paid off. The line of credit the MMA uses
will have no effect on your ability to
sell your home. Once you have sold your
home and purchased another residence, we
can put the MMA back into action on the
new residence. Also, all the equity built
in the account, as well as the equity
built with market appreciation, will make
a great down payment on the next purchase.
Back to Top
Q. Is there any risk involved?
A. From a
financial standpoint, there is very little
risk. No stock market crash or extreme
interest fluctuation can completely
eradicate the expected outcome. If your
numbers remain the same, we guarantee the
results given at the outset of the
program. Only homeowners that qualify to
significantly reduce their mortgage payoff
time and interest, however, will be
activated on the MMA program.
Back to Top
Q. Can anybody qualify for the MMA?
A. It is
important to go through a brief
questionnaire when applying for the MMA
program. Fortunately, there are several
avenues that can be taken to gain approval
or tailor the program to work for your
specific situation, but the MMA program is
not for everybody.
Back to Top
Q. Do I have to refinance my
existing mortgage loan to make this work?
A. No. It is
not necessary to refinance your existing
mortgage loan. You may choose to refinance
your mortgage for additional interest
savings but refinancing your existig
mortgage loan is not required for the MMA
to work. If you do not currently have a
specific line of credit one will need to
be opened.
Back to Top
Q. Will MMA work with an interest
only or negative amortization payment on
my primary mortgage?
A. Yes. In
fact, MMA helps you to take control of the
outcome of these types of loans to benefit
you substantially.
Back to Top
Q. Can I own multiple investment
properties at one time and utilize just
one MMA program, or do I need one for each
property?
A. The MMA is
most effective when used to payoff one
property at a time. As each property is
paid off, your overall discretionary
income can increase; creating an
accelerated payoff period for each
subsequent property.
