Product Options

Home Equity Lines of Credit (HELOC)

Home Equity Lines of Credit is a type of revolving credit that allows homeowners to borrow against the equity they’ve built up in their property.

What to consider: Choose a HELOC if you need flexibility and access to funds on an as-needed basis, prefer potential variable rates, and are comfortable with interest-only payments during the draw period.

Second Lien

A second lien can be a strategic financial tool to leverage your homes equity for needs such as home renovations, education costs, or significant purchases.  

What to consider: Choose a Second Lien if you need a specific amount of funds with predictable payments and prefer the stability of a fixed interest rate over a longer term.

Customers may choose this option when they need a specific amount of funds, with predictable payments and like the stability of a fixed interest rate over a longer term.

Fixed Interest Rate Home Equity Loans

A fixed interest rate home equity loan is a type of loan where you borrow a lump sum of money against the equity in your home, and you repay it over a set period with a fixed interest rate.

What to consider:  Choose this option if you want your interest rate and monthly payments to remain consistent throughout the life of the loan.  This option can make it easier to budget and plan for your payments.

Adjustable Interest Rate Home Equity Loans

An Adjustable Interest Rate Home Equity Loan (often called an ARM or adjustable-rate mortgage) allows homeowners to borrow against the equity in their home, with an interest rate that can change over time.

What to consider: While these loans can offer advantages, it’s important to consider the potential for rising interest rates and fluctuating payments. Careful planning and understanding the terms are essential.
