Home Equity Line of Credit

With a home equity line of credit (HELOC), you can borrow money against one of your greatest assets... your home.

Much like a credit card, a HELOC gives you the flexibility to pay down your credit line and access funds as you need them.

A HELOC is a convenient and cost-effective option to finance home improvement projects or consolidate debt. You can also access the account to pay for vacations, weddings, college tuition, or whatever else life brings your way.

Benefits of a Home Equity Line of Credit

  • APRs for Home equity lines of credit are based on prime rate plus a margin and are determined by your credit.
  • No Fees or closing costs
  • Visa Platinum Card for convenient access to funds
