Unlock the Power of Your Home’s Equity
Your home is more than a place to live—it’s also a valuable financial resource. A Home Equity Line of Credit (HELOC) allows you to tap into your home’s equity to achieve your goals, whether it’s tackling a major expense, consolidating debt, or investing in your future.
Key Features of a HELOC
- Low Rates: Take advantage of competitive interest rates, often lower than personal loans or credit cards.
- Flexible Access: Borrow as much or as little as you need, up to your credit limit.
- Interest-Only Payment Options: Manage your budget by paying interest-only during the draw period.
- Potential Tax Benefits: In some cases, the interest paid on a HELOC may be tax-deductible (consult your tax advisor).
When to Use a HELOC
- Home Improvements
Dreaming of a new kitchen, bathroom, or outdoor space? A HELOC is ideal for financing projects that enhance your home’s value and comfort.
- Debt Consolidation
Simplify your finances by using your HELOC to pay off high-interest credit cards or loans. One payment at a lower interest rate can help you save money and get ahead.
- Education Expenses
Planning for college or advanced learning? A HELOC offers a cost-effective way to fund tuition or other education-related expenses.
- Emergency Fund
Life happens—medical expenses, unexpected repairs, or sudden financial needs. With a HELOC, you’ll have a financial safety net ready.
- Major Life Events
From weddings to once-in-a-lifetime trips, a HELOC can make big dreams a reality without depleting your savings.
How Does a HELOC Work?
- Draw Period: Borrow as needed during the draw period, 8 years.
- Repayment Period: Once the draw period ends, repay the principal and interest over 12 years.
- Simple Payments: Payment is amortized based on the remaining term on the loan and is recalculated after each advance and/or annual change to the index rate

ALL YOUR BURNING QUESTIONS ANSWERED
A HELOC is a revolving line of credit that allows you to borrow against the equity in your home. It works somewhat like a credit card—you can borrow as needed up to a certain limit and pay interest only on what you use.
A HELOC offers flexibility to draw funds over time, whereas a home equity loan provides a lump sum upfront. A HELOC typically has a variable interest rate, while a home equity loan often has a fixed rate.
The amount depends on your home’s value, the amount you owe on your mortgage, and your creditworthiness. Most HELOCs allow you to borrow up to 80-90% of your home’s equity.
- The payment is re-amortized after each advance or rate change based on the remaining months of the original 20-year term.
- Payment Options: Automatic transfer, cash or check, and Digital Banking.
- Processing Time: Approximately 2-3 weeks.
- Home Equity Early Disclosure
The draw period is up to 8 years. The total payback period is a maximum of 20 years.
HELOCs are versatile and can be used for:
- Home renovations
- Debt consolidation
- Education expenses
- Emergency funds
- Major life events
