Your Home Has Value.
Let's Explore Its Potential.
You've invested in your home. Now discover how its equity could help you take your next step—with flexible financing options tailored to your goals.
A HELOC uses your home as collateral. Approval, terms and credit availability vary.
The essentials, made simple
What is a HELOC?
A home equity line of credit is a revolving line of credit secured by your home. If approved, you can draw from an available credit limit during a set draw period, repay what you borrow, and generally access funds again under your agreement.
Your available equity is based on your home's value minus mortgages secured by it. Your potential credit limit depends on your financial profile, property valuation, current mortgage balances, and lender requirements.
Let's discuss your options →Your equity. Your possibilities.
What could your home's equity help you do?
Simplify your financial picture.
Consider whether using home equity to consolidate higher-interest debt fits your goals—after comparing total costs and risks.
Prepare for what's next.
Explore access to funds for planned major expenses and life's milestones, without necessarily replacing your existing first mortgage.
Borrowing against your home carries risk. Consolidating debt does not eliminate it and may extend repayment or increase total interest.

How does a HELOC compare?
There isn't one financing solution for every homeowner. Here are some common distinctions worth discussing.
| Financing option | How you access funds | What to consider |
|---|---|---|
| HELOC | Draw as needed during an approved period | Often a variable rate; credit line and payment terms can change |
| Home equity loan | Generally a single lump sum | Often fixed installment payments; your home is collateral |
| Cash-out refinance | New mortgage replaces the existing mortgage | Changes the terms of your first mortgage; closing costs may apply |
Good questions. Clear answers.
What homeowners often ask.
Do I have to replace my current mortgage?
Not necessarily. A HELOC is often a separate line of credit alongside an existing first mortgage. Available structures depend on the lender and your current financing.
Do I pay interest on my entire credit line?
Interest is typically based on what you actually borrow, rather than your entire unused credit limit. Fees may still apply.
How much equity could I access?
It depends on your home's value, existing mortgage balances, income, credit, and the lender's underwriting requirements. No credit limit or approval is guaranteed.
Can my payment change?
Yes. Many HELOCs have variable interest rates. Payments may also increase when the draw period ends and principal repayment begins.
What costs should I compare?
Ask about any application, appraisal, closing, annual, inactivity or early termination fees, plus the rate formula, rate caps, minimum draws, and repayment terms.

Let's explore what's possible with your home's equity and find out whether a HELOC aligns with your plans.
Important details
Know before you borrow.
A HELOC is secured by your home. If you do not repay as agreed, you could lose your home. Many HELOCs have variable interest rates; your rate and payment may increase. Some plans permit interest-only payments during the draw period, followed by larger payments when repayment begins. Credit lines may be reduced or frozen in certain circumstances. Review all rates, fees, and terms before proceeding.
For many HELOCs secured by a principal dwelling, federal law provides a three-business-day cancellation right, subject to applicable conditions and exceptions.
