A Home Equity Line of Credit (often called a HELOC) is a great option for members who need access to funds over a period of time.

A HELOC allows you to use the value that you have built up in your home to borrow the money you need...when you need it.

Similar to a line of credit or credit card, you apply to borrow a specific dollar amount. Once approved, the credit union will advance funds to meet your needs. You only use the funds you require at that time and only pay interest on the loan balance. Use the HELOC to pay for home remodeling projects, tuition, weddings or to refinance high interest loans and credit cards.
