(Reuters) - Canadian mortgage lender Home Capital Group Inc said on Wednesday its unit received a two-year C$500 million funding commitment that would replace a C$2 billion credit facility offered by Warren Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway Inc .

Last year, Buffett took a 20 percent stake in Home Capital and provided a C$2 billion credit facility after investors withdrew more than 90 percent of funds from its high-interest savings accounts.

"This Credit Facility is better aligned with our current liquidity and funding profile and results in a lower aggregate cost than the existing credit facility it is replacing," Chief Financial Officer Brad Kotush said.
