Tackle big projects - or take on anything else on your to-do list

In financial terms, home equity is the market value of your home minus your mortgage balance. In practical terms? That equity is your ticket to a low-cost loan that can be used for almost anything, from remodeling projects, major purchases and debt consolidation to family vacations and college costs. You can access home equity funds two ways - as a lump sum and a line of credit. Our friendly lending team can help you choose.

While both home equity loans and HELOCs allow homeowners to borrow against their home equity, they work differently. A home equity loan provides a lump sum of money upfront with a fixed interest rate and monthly payments. A HELOC works more like a credit card with a revolving line of credit that you can borrow from as needed, with variable interest rates and flexible repayment terms.

The interest on home equity loans may be tax-deductible if the funds are used for home improvements. Please consult your tax advisor.
