A Home Equity Loan allows you to borrow a fixed amount of money using the equity in your home as collateral. With a low, fixed interest rate, predictable monthly payments, and a set repayment term, this loan provides stability and financial clarity—similar to a traditional mortgage. If you prefer borrowing a lump sum of money with a fixed interest rate and a set monthly payment for your budget, a Home Equity Loan could be the ideal solution for you.

A Home Equity Line of Credit (HELOC) is a smart and flexible way to borrow against the equity you have built in your home. Unlike a traditional loan, a Home Equity Line of Credit provides a revolving line, allowing you to access funds whenever you need them—up to your approved credit limit.

With a Home Equity Line of credit, your monthly payment is variable and based on the amount you borrow, not the full credit line, making it a cost-effective financing option. Your monthly payments adjust based on your outstanding balance, giving you greater financial control and flexibility.
