Your Equity is an AssetPut it to work.

If your home has grown in value, you may be able to use that equity, often at a lower cost than credit cards or personal loans. We offer several ways to access it, including options that keep your current mortgage in place.

Benefits

  • Keep your current mortgage. Access cash without giving up a low first-mortgage rate. 
  • Often lower cost than other borrowing. Your home secures the loan, so rates are typically lower than unsecured debt. 
  • Access larger amounts. Fund projects other credit lines can't cover. 
  • Use it your way. Renovations, debt consolidation, tuition, emergencies, or your next investment. 
  • Add value to your home. Improvements funded with equity can raise your home's value.

Home Equity FAQ

  • HELOC: a line of credit you draw from as needed.
  • Home equity loan: a one-time lump sum with a set payment.
  • Cash-out refinance: replaces your mortgage with a new, larger one and gives you the difference in cash.

A HELOC and a home equity loan both sit behind your current mortgage, so it stays in place.

Not with a HELOC or home equity loan. Both leave your first mortgage untouched, which is why homeowners with a low rate often choose them. A cash-out refinance does replace your mortgage, but it can still make sense when current rates are close to yours or you want a single payment.

Compare your equity options

It depends on your home's current value, what you owe, your credit, and the program. Lenders set a limit on your total borrowing compared to your home's value. Share your estimated value and balance, and we'll give you a specific range.
