Both home equity loan types typically come with lower interest rates than unsecured loans, and you can use the funds for anything you want, including home renovations, vacation, education, major purchases, and more!
So, which should you choose: a home equity loan or home equity line of credit (HELOC)? We’re here to guide you through your options and help you find the right fit so you can welcome the possibilities!
| HOME EQUITY LOAN | HOME EQUITY LINE OF CREDIT (HELOC) |
|---|---|
| Fixed rate | Variable rate |
| Fixed loan terms | Revolving line of credit |
| Best for debt consolidation, home renovations, or other major purchases with set needs | Best for intermittent cash needs over a number of years |

WHAT IS HOME EQUITY?
Home equity is the value you’ve built up in your home. You earn equity from the down payment on your mortgage and what you’ve paid toward the principal, as well as any increases in the value of your home.
Home equity = your home’s current value minus what is owed on your mortgage
WHAT IS A VARIABLE RATE REVOLVING LINE OF CREDIT?
The home equity line of credit (HELOC) has a prime rate, which is the highest prime rate published in the Money Rates Table of the Wall Street Journal on the last business day of each quarter. Prime is a variable rate; as it changes, the APR on your account will also change. The APR will be based on the prime rate plus a margin of up to 3.5%. Your rate will be based on credit worthiness, term, and combined loan-to-value (CLTV) ratio.
Remember, both home equity loans and HELOCs may offer a better interest rate than a credit card or unsecured loan because they use your home as collateral. Contact a Service 1 FCU loan expert to see what type of loan is best for you.
WHAT IS FIXED RATE LOAN?
Also called a “second mortgage,” home equity loans work similarly to a conventional, fixed-rate mortgage in that your APR will remain the same during the term of the loan. Your rate will be based on credit worthiness, term, and combined loan-to-value (CLTV) ratio.
Remember, both home equity loans and HELOCs may offer a better interest rate than a credit card or unsecured loan because they use your home as collateral. Contact a Service 1 FCU loan expert to see what type of loan is best for you.
ARE THERE CLOSING COSTS?
Yes, closing costs apply and may vary. Closing costs include a $450 processing fee and appraisal costs (as needed). For a list of costs and fees—including details on what is covered by Service 1 FCU—contact a Mortgage Specialist at (800) 879-9697.
HOW DO I ACCESS MY HELOC FUNDS?
Transfer HELOC funds to your Service 1 FCU checking account using It’sMe247 Online Banking or the mobile app and access the money by using your debit card or writing a check.
A voluntary program, Debt Protection* coverage can eliminate your eligible loan balance, up to the agreement maximum, should the unthinkable happen before paying off your loan. Situations in which debt protection can benefit you or your family:
Death | Debt Protection can eliminate your eligible loan balance, up to the agreement maximum, should you pass away before paying off your loan.
Disability (due to a protected illness or injury) | Debt Protection can cancel your monthly loan payment, up to the agreement maximum. With payment cancellation, both the principal and interest portions of your loan payment are cancelled, up to the agreement maximum, and your loan balance declines.
Involuntary Unemployment | If you become involuntarily unemployed, Debt Protection can defer the principal portion of your loan payment and cancel the interest portion up to the agreement limit. With interest cancellation, the loan balance does not decline. Program and other fees may continue to accrue.
With Debt Protection coverage, you'll purchase just enough protection to cover your loan balance. Ask today for the coverage that'll bring you peace of mind!
*Subject to change
Your purchase of Debt Protection with Life Plus is optional and will not affect your application for credit or the terms of any credit agreement required to obtain a loan. Certain eligibility requirements, conditions, and exclusions may apply. Please contact your loan representative or refer to the Member Agreement for a full explanation of the terms of Debt Protection with Life Plus. You may cancel the protection at any time. If you cancel protection within 30 days, you will receive a full refund of any fee paid.
