HELOC

Tap your home equity with a flexible line of credit.

A Home Equity Line of Credit (HELOC) is a revolving line of credit secured by the equity in your home, giving you the ability to borrow, repay, and borrow again during a set draw period, usually around 10 years, followed by a repayment period of up to 20 years. HELOCs typically carry variable interest rates tied to a published index, and you only pay interest on the amount you actually use rather than the full credit limit. Homeowners commonly use a HELOC for renovations, debt consolidation, tuition, emergency reserves, or to fund other large expenses without refinancing their first mortgage.

Why this loan

Built around what you actually need.

1
Pay interest only on what you use

Unlike a lump-sum loan, you only pay interest on the funds you actually draw from the line of credit.

2
Reusable access to equity

During the draw period you can borrow, repay, and borrow again as projects, expenses, or opportunities come up.

3
Leaves your first mortgage alone

A HELOC sits behind your existing mortgage, so you can tap equity without giving up the rate or terms you already have.

Rates

How HELOC rates work

They're variable, not fixed

Most HELOCs carry a variable rate tied to a published index, typically the U.S. Prime Rate, plus a margin set by the lender. When the index moves, your rate (and minimum payment) can move with it. Some programs offer fixed-rate advance options on the balance you draw — useful if you want payment certainty on a specific project.

What drives the rate you get
  • Credit profile — stronger scores generally unlock tighter margins.
  • CLTV — the combined loan-to-value across your first mortgage and the new line; lower CLTV usually prices better.
  • Occupancy & property type — primary homes typically price sharper than second homes or investments.
  • Line size & draw — some lenders price based on initial draw amount or total line size.
  • Lender — every lender sets its own margin, fees, and credit overlays.

How is a HELOC different from a home equity loan?+
