What is a Home Equity Loan?

As you make improvements to your house and continue mortgage payments, your home builds up equity. A Home Equity Loan lets you access the value, using it as collateral for a loan. Basically, you borrow a lump sum based on the value built up in your home at a fixed rate, typically lower than you would with a personal loan or credit card, and pay the loan back over a set term.

  • Life's Big Expenses: Cover medical bills, education costs, or other unexpected needs that pop up.
