Home Equity Loans

A Home Equity Loan provides a lump sum of money with fixed repayment terms, while a Home Equity Line of Credit (HELOC) gives you access to a revolving credit line that you can draw from as needed. A Home Equity Loan is typically best for one-time expenses, while a HELOC offers ongoing flexibility for projects and expenses that occur over time.

The amount you may be eligible to borrow depends on several factors, including your home's value, the amount you still owe on your mortgage, your income, credit history, and other financial considerations. Our lending team can help determine the options available to you.

Yes. Many homeowners use the equity they've built in their homes while continuing to make payments on their existing mortgage. Eligibility is based on factors such as available home equity, income, creditworthiness, and overall financial profile.
