HELOC

Turn the equity you've built into cash.

Borrow what you need, on your timeline, without impacting your current mortgage rate.1

What is a HELOC?

It is a revolving line of credit, and like a credit card, you may borrow cash as needed up to your approved limit during the draw period.

Withdraw funds as you go to spend on anything, big or small:

  • Consolidate high-interest debt
  • Invest in home renovations
  • Fund medical expenses
  • Cover education costs

How does a HELOC Work?

A HELOC is a revolving line of credit secured by your home equity and has two phases. During the draw period, withdraw funds up to your approved limit. During the repayment period, pay back the loan.

Why a HELOC?

A HELOC offers more flexibility, as you can withdraw cash as needed to spend on expected and unexpected expenses. Plus save money on monthly principal and interest payments since you only need to pay interest on what you borrow during the draw period.

How does a Home Equity Loan Work?

With a home equity loan3, tap into your equity for cash while keeping your current loan untouched. Loan funds are dispersed in one lump-sum payment and you repay the loan over a fixed amount of time.

Why a Home Equity Loan?

Access funds all at once to spend as you see fit with a fixed repayment plan. Your monthly payment amount will be the same each month, and includes principal and interest.

How does a Cash-Out Refinance Work?

A cash-out refinance4 replaces your current mortgage with a new, larger loan at the current market interest rate. Receive the difference between the new mortgage amount and existing balance as a lump sum. 

Why a Cash-Out Refinance?

Since a cash-out refinance replaces your previous mortgage, you only have to worry about making one monthly payment. Once loan funds are dispersed, start spending to achieve your goals.
