Home Equity Loans

Would you like to update your kitchen or build your backyard oasis? You can use the equity you have built up in your home to pay for those updates.

Your home equity is the difference between the value of what your home is worth and what you owe. You’ve earned the equity in your home. Now, use it to put your home to work for you.

You can use your home equity to pay for things like:

  • Home improvements
  • Debt consolidation
  • Emergency funds
  • Whatever you need

We offer two types of home equity loans: a fixed-rate home equity loan* and a variable-rate home equity line of credit (HELOC).**

Benefits of a home equity loan:

  • Fixed rate never changes over the life of the loan.
  • You get the entire amount of the loan at closing.

Benefits of a home equity line of credit:

  • You can use your variable-rate HELOC funds for whatever you need, whenever you need it and you pay interest only on the amount you use.
  • Your HELOC is a revolving line of credit, which means your funds become available again as you pay down your balance.
  • You can easily transfer your HELOC funds directly to your checking or savings account using your Online Banking and Mobile Banking. Plus, you can give us a call or visit any branch and we will transfer the funds for you.
