What is a home equity line of credit?

A home equity line of credit, or HELOC is a form of credit that lets you borrow money based on the equity you’ve built in your home. You can access the money all at once or use smaller amounts whenever you need it.

How it works: If your home is worth $400,000 and you owe $250,000 on your mortgage, you have $150,000 in equity. If you get a HELOC, you might be eligible to get a credit line based on a percentage of that $150,000.

Why a HELOC is a great choice for you

  • Low rates

    Enjoy lower rates than most other loans and low to no closing costs2 with a HELOC.3 Plus, your interest may be tax-deductible.4
  • The flexibility you need

    You’ll only pay interest on the money you borrow. Enjoy interest only variable rate payments or choose to lock in your balance at a fixed rate and term for payments that will not change.5
  • Borrow again and again

    When you pay down your credit line, that money becomes available to borrow again during the 10 year draw period. At the end, any remaining balance can be repaid over a 20 year term.
Not sure if this is the right loan for you? We’ll help you choose.
