Home equity line of credit
As you pay your mortgage and your house increases in value, borrow using the equity that you’ve built up in your home. It’s a smart way to borrow since home equity interest rates are often lower than the interest on many credit cards and personal loans. A flexible home equity line of credit lets you borrow over and over again as you pay off your balance.
The credit union will pay for your closing costs if you keep your home equity line of credit open for at least three years.*
