Home Equity

It’s a good day to…

Fix your roof, take a trip, renovate, add a pool, pay down debt, retrofit, or use your imagination...

…and you can do all of those things and more with a Home Equity Line of Credit (aka HELOC). If you have equity in your home, a HELOC is your home’s way of paying you back. You can borrow money from the equity of your home to get spending money at Better rates than those offered on credit cards, personal loans, or nearly any other kind of credit. If you haven’t noticed already, we’re all about doing things Better.

And right now, you can get a rate that’s almost impossible to beat. It’s our introductory rate of 1.99% APR* that’s good for the first six months.

New member? You can get 1.99% APR* for six months.
Existing member? You can get 1.99% APR* for six months.
Existing member who already has a HELOC? Yes, you too, you can get 1.99% APR* on your existing line for six months starting with your next draw or purchase.**
