*Annual Percentage Rate (APR) is 04/01/2023 and programs, rates, terms and conditions are subject to change without notice.

Usually the estimated cost to obtain a Home Equity Loan is $300, excluding appraisals and title insurance, if required. Offer excludes Home Equity Loans used for a home purchase and the appraisal fee, if an appraisal is necessary. Does not apply to refinancing existing SFCU loans. A sample Fixed Home Equity Loan payment based on $20,000 at 4.00% APR for 5 years is $368.33 per month.

**Annual Percentage Rate (APR) is accurate as of 04/01/2023 and programs, rates, terms and conditions are subject to change without notice. The rate may vary depending on everyone’s credit history and underwriting factors. Rates are variable and are subject to increase after consummation. Rates are based on the value of an index, plus or minus a margin.
