What Is a Home Equity Line of Credit (HELOC)?

A Home Equity Line of Credit, commonly known as a HELOC, is a revolving line of credit that allows you to borrow against the equity in your home.

Unlike a traditional home equity loan, a HELOC lets you access funds as needed, repay what you use, and borrow again during the draw period.

This flexibility makes HELOCs ideal for ongoing or unpredictable expenses.

  • Competitive adjustable interest rates
  • Draw period of up to 10 years
  • Borrow only what you need, up to your approved limit

  • Flexible repayment options
  • Terms up to 20 years, based on eligibility
