Harvard FCU can help you make the most of the equity in your home with a Home Equity Loan or Line of Credit.
Tapping into your Home Equity is great way to access low-cost funds for a variety of needs from home improvements and travel to debt consolidation and major life events.
Borrowing with a Home Equity Loan or Line offers two key advantages:
- The interest rate will be lower – usually much lower than what you’d pay on a credit card or personal loan.
- The interest you pay usually is tax deductible which further reduces the cost of borrowing.
All of our Home Equity products feature:
- No Annual Fees
- No Pre-Payment Penalties
- No Closing Costs1
- HELOC Debit Cards for you to easily charge purchases using your HELOC funds. If you already have a HELOC, you may request a HELOC Debit Card using this form.
With a Home Equity Line of Credit, instead of receiving one lump sum, you have the flexibility to draw funds whenever you need them.3 Tapping into your line is easy using online or mobile banking, and the variable interest rate is only charged on the amount that you use.2
- Rate is below prime for the life of the line2
- 10 year draw followed by 15 year repayment
- No closing costs1
- Advances can be made via checks, online, in person, and over the phone
- Borrow up to 80% of the equity in your home
Fixed Home Equity Loans have fixed interest rates and are available at flexible terms. Funds are disbursed in one lump sum, making this is the perfect solution for big purchases or one-time projects.
