Home Equity Line of Credit
Unlimited Possibilities Under One Roof.
Did you know you can turn your home's equity into a powerful financial resource? Whether you want to consolidate high-interest rate debt into one payment, make home improvements, or pay for a big purchase, consider using the equity you’ve already built in your home to make it happen.

* APR=Annual Percentage Rate. The introductory APR will remain in effect for 12 months. Introductory APR is not based on the index and margin used for later rate adjustments. The maximum introductory APR is 5.49%. The introductory APR you receive is based on your individual credit history and Combined Loan to Value (CLTV). After the introductory period, your APR will adjust to The Wall Street Journal (WSJ) Prime Rate, plus or minus a Margin. As of December 19, 2024, the Prime Rate in the WSJ is 7.50%. The Margin ranges from 0% to 4.50% and is based upon your individual credit history and CLTV. Your APR will never be more than 18% or the maximum permitted by law, whichever is less. However, your APR will not be less than 4.00%. All balances will accrue interest at a variable APR, which can adjust on the first day of each month, based upon the Prime Rate published in the WSJ 10 days prior to the adjustment date. There is no limit on the amount by which the APR can change during any one-year period.
