HOME EQUITY LINES OF CREDIT

If you own your home, a Home Equity Line of Credit (HELOC) can be an affordable way to finance home repairs or improvements, pay for medical expenses, consolidate higher-rate debt, finance large purchases (like education or a second home), or simply serve as an emergency fund to pay for unexpected expenses. And our rates are some of the lowest in the U.S.

A HELOC is an open line of credit, with a variable rate, that you draw from only as you need to. If you prefer a fixed rate and know exactly how much you need to borrow (and want it all at funding), you might want to consider a Home Equity Loan.

We offer two HELOC options: Standard and Rate Advantage.

Standard HELOC

  • As low as (8.000% APR. SEE ALL HELOC RATES & TERMS.

  • From $10,000 to $250,000.
  • No lender origination fees.2
  • Advances can be made during the first 10 years.
  • Interest-only payments for first 10 years; remaining 15-year term is fully amortized.
