In contrast, a Home Equity Loan is better if you need a lump sum for a specific purpose and prefer predictable monthly payments with a fixed interest rate. It’s a solid option for major one-time expenses like renovations or paying off high-interest debt.

I love this Credit Union!!! Best rates, highest payouts for deposits. Nice folks too. I am shifting the entirety of my indebtedness to them because the rates are so good, and I was tired of getting hit with huge interest at the end of every month. 5 stars.

Home Equity Loan FAQs
A home equity line of credit (HELOC) is like a second mortgage on your house in exchange for cash. The amount of money you can get is based on the equity you have in your home.
With a HELOC, you get a credit line that works sort of like a credit card - it stays open and available during the draw period. You can borrow or take money out as you need it. When you make payments and repay part of the loan, the available credit is replenished.
When you apply for a HELOC, we look at how much equity you have in your home compared to what you still owe on your mortgage loan. That’s your loan to value ratio or your LTV.
From there, we review your credit history, income, and other personal factors to determine if the loan is a good fit. If it is, we usually let applicants borrow up to 80% of their available equity.
Anything. Seriously! HELOCs are great because you can use them for anything. Want to pay off student loans? You can use a HELOC for that. Want to start a food truck business? A HELOC is perfect for that too. What about braces? Your wedding? Or an epic graduation trip backpacking Europe? Yes, yes, and yes!

The minimum home equity credit line is $15,000. The minimum payment will equal interest only during the 15 year draw period. After the 15 years, the draw period will close and further advances will not be available. The loan will then be recalculated to pay the loan off in an additional 15 years. Monthly interest only payment example: $10,000 loan amount at 8.500% APR = $70.83. Monthly interest only payment example after initial promotional rate offer assuming you have a FICO credit score of 750 or greater: $10,000 loan amount at 9.25% APR = $77.08. An early termination fee of up to $1,500 applies when a home equity line of credit is paid off and closed within the first 3 years (not applicable for North Carolina properties with loan amounts of less than $150,000). Other fees, terms and conditions may apply. Maximum credit limit is subject to credit qualification and appraised value; standard underwriting guidelines apply. This is not a commitment to lend.
Please note: The subject property must be a single family home occupied by the Member as their primary residence; located in California or North Carolina; mobile homes are excluded. Offer cannot be used for an existing home equity line of credit.
