What is a HELOC and How Does It Work?
A Home Equity Line of Credit (HELOC) is a flexible borrowing option that uses the equity in your home as collateral. Unlike a traditional loan, a HELOC is a revolving credit, similar to a credit card, but often with much lower rates.
Key HELOC features include:
Borrow only what you need when you need it
Pay interest only on the amount used.
Access funds multiple times during the draw period
This makes a HELOC ideal for ongoing or unexpected expenses, offering more control than lump-sum personal loans or high-interest credit cards.
When Might You Use a HELOC?
Because a HELOC adapts to your needs, it's a smart option for a wide range of expenses, including:
Home improvements and repairs
Education costs and tuition
Medical bills or dental procedures
Debt consolidation
Unexpected emergencies
With a HELOC, you're not borrowing more than you need and don't have to reapply when new expenses arise. That's the flexibility members love.
