These lines of credit are great for people who don’t plan to spend all of the loan proceeds at once, but are planning for current and future needs. Common uses for HELOCs include home improvements, debt consolidation, or major purchases. This lets you have the flexibility to borrow only what you need, when you need it.

Features of our Home Equity Line of Credit:

Low monthly payments

Borrow up to 90% of your home’s equity

Enjoy no closing costs for most lines of credit

No annual fee

No prepayment penalties

Interest may be tax-deductible (consult a tax advisor regarding the deductibility of interest)

Loan amounts $10,000 up to $500,000

10-year draw period followed by a 15-year repayment period

Easily access your Line of Credit using Online or Mobile Banking, using a HELOC check, or visiting your local branch.
