Home Equity Line of Credit (HELOC)

A HOMELINE (HELOC) is the most affordable way to get cash for:

• Home Repairs

• Home Improvements

• Education Expenses

• Medical Expenses

• Large dollar purchases

• Family Financial Obligations

What can you use your account for?

Because your line of credit uses your home as collateral, you should use it carefully and for significant items only, rather than day-to-day expenses. Consider a variety of important needs, such as family financial obligations, large item purchases, home improvements and medical or education expenses.

Using your account is simple and convenient

When you open your account, you receive special checks that allow you to access your funds or you can draw funds by transferring to another account. Then when you need cash for a specific reason, you can write a check to cover the amount or you can use CU Online or our mobile app to transfer money. The minimum withdrawal amount for which you can write a check is $100. The maximum is your pre-approved credit limit. You can write checks on this account for up to 10 years or until you have reached your maximum loan amount. If you pay back part of what you borrowed, you may continue to borrow those funds during the 10-year draw period. At the end of the draw period, you have 15 years to repay the loan.

Enjoy a Tax Advantage

Federal law may allow a tax deduction for HOMELINE (HELOC) loan interest. Consult your tax advisor to see if you qualify for such a deduction.
