Your home is likely the biggest asset you have. So when big expenses come up, let your home lend a hand. A Home Equity Loan (also known as a second mortgage) provides you with one lump sum that you repay over time—all secured by the equity you’ve created with your home.
Home Equity Loans can be used for nearly anything you want but are most commonly used for things like home renovations, debt consolidation or education.
Let’s pave the way to your next vehicle with an auto loan to fit your budget.
What you have lets you borrow what you need. | Term | APR¹ |
|---|---|
| 0-60 Months | 5.99% |
| 61-120 Months | 6.66% |
| 121-180 Months | 7.24% |

A Home Equity Line of Credit (HELOC) is like a credit card that’s secured by the equity in your home. It provides a revolving line of credit that you can borrow against, repay, and borrow again as needed.
With flexible terms and variable interest rates, a HELOC is an easy way to access funds for projects, expenses, or emergencies with rates typically much lower than credit cards.
It is our goal to ensure you always have the most convenient opportunities available to assist you in reaching your financial goals.
We now offer checks⁴ with our Home Equity Line of Credit (HELOC). These checks are similar to personal checks, and you can make out a HELOC to whomever you want—an individual or company, for example.
Once the payee cashes the check, the lender subtracts the amount from your HELOC’s credit limit. Easy!

What you have lets you borrow what you need. Home Equity Loans and HELOCs are both amazing for securing affordable funds for a variety of reasons, but they do have their differences.
| Loan Feature | Home Equity Loan | HELOC |
|---|---|---|
| Nature of loan | Lump sum loan | Revolving line of credit |
| Interest rate | Fixed interest rate | Variable rate |
| Interest payments | Pay interest on the entire loan amount from the beginning of the loan | Pay interest only on the amount you’ve withdrawn during the draw period |
| Paying it back | Fixed monthly payments | Variable monthly payments based on the outstanding balance |
| Use of funds | It’s up to you, but typically used for one-time expenses such as home renovations | Flexible use for ongoing varying expenses like home improvement, emergencies or debt consolidation |
Remember, the best choice depends on your specific needs, financial situation, and preferences.
