Home Equity Line of Credit (HELOC) & Loans

Use the equity in your home to fund major purchases.

Home equity loans are a great way for homeowners to take advantage of the equity they have built up in their homes. There is no limitation on what the funds can be used for, which means you can use funds for home improvements, adoption expenses, vacations or even consolidating your debt into one manageable payment. Rates are generally more favorable than other borrowing options and depending on the use, the interest paid may be tax-deductible (check with your tax advisor).

Options to access your equity

How do you know if you should get a home equity line of credit (HELOC) or a term home equity loan (HELOAN)? If you have one large project, like a home addition, a HELOAN may be the better option. If you’ve just purchased a home and have several projects that will be done over time, a HELOC allows you to draw the funds when to you need them.
