Home Equity

Online Access

Home equity is the difference between how much your home is worth and how much you owe on your mortgage. You can borrow against your home's equity to fund large projects or major expenses, such as home renovations, debt consolidation, education expenses and even travel. The choice is yours!

A home equity loan and a home equity line of credit (HELOC) are both great options to finance these types of projects.

  • Ideal for when you want access to cash over time
  • Allows you to draw on the line of credit for any amount at any time

  • Fee charged equal to closing fees if closed in the first two years
