Home Equity

A HELOC is a revolving line of credit that works like a credit card — except it’s secured by your home. You can withdraw money as needed up to a maximum limit, pay the balance to zero and re-use the line for a set time frame called a draw period.

The benefit of a home equity loan or line of credit is to provide access to cash for things like home repairs, remodeling, medical or college expenses. Borrowing against your home's equity may have tax advantages (consult your tax advisor), and doing so may provide a lower interest rate than other options, such as credit cards or personal loans.
