Your closing costs, lightened.

Buying a home comes with a lot of moving pieces, and the financial pressure can feel real. The Brighter Closing Credit Program from Luminate Bank gives you a simple way to reduce what you bring to the closing table while you set up your financial future with a banking partner who stays with you long after move-in.

Why choose Luminate Bank?

When you’re making one of the biggest financial decisions of your life, you deserve a partner who’s clear, supportive, and genuinely invested in your future.

With Luminate Bank, you get:

An easier, more connected banking experience

A team that makes complex moments feel simple

Encouraging guidance, not jargon or pressure

Support that extends beyond closing and into your financial future

Why This Matters During Your Homebuying Journey

Closing costs hit at the exact moment your savings are stretched the most. Even a small boost can create breathing room and peace of mind.

  • Immediate savings on what you owe at closing
  • A smoother, more connected banking experience
  • A trusted team that supports you through every step of your homebuying journey


Your mortgage team introduces the offer once you’re approved, and they’ll guide you so everything is ready by closing. It’s simple, clear, and designed to make this moment easier for you.

What You Get with Brighter Closing:

Open a qualifying deposit account before closing, and you’ll get:


  • $400 closing cost credit with a $1,000 deposit
  • $1,000 closing cost credit with a $100,000 deposit


By opening your account now, you’re not just reducing your closing costs; you’re starting a long-term banking relationship built around your goals, your financial growth, and your next chapter as a homeowner.

How You Save:

The Process Is Simple

Here’s what it looks like:

Your Loan Officer introduces the offer during the post-approval, pre-closing stage.

You open your Luminate Bank deposit account using the path that works best for you (online, guided, or with a banker).

Fund the account with the qualifying amount.

Your closing cost credit is applied automatically at closing.

No hoops to jump through. No extra stress added to your plate.

Save at Closing. Strengthen Your Financial Future.

A few minutes today can make your closing day feel lighter and give you a banking partner that stays with you long after the keys are in your hand.
