Home Equity

Home Equity Loans and Lines

We offer homeowners great options with Home Equity Lines of Credit and Home Equity Loans. Which option is right for you?

Loan

A lump sum loan, based on your home's equity, with a set monthly payment. A Home Equity Loan may be right for you if you prefer the stability of a fixed rate loan with a set monthly payment over a fixed term. With a Home Equity Loan, you get the entire amount up front, which is good for large single investments or expenses.

  • Competitive fixed rates
  • Secured by the equity in your home
  • Loan amount is based upon a percentage of your LTV (loan-to-value) for qualified borrowers
