About the Home Equity Line of Credit (HELOC)

Equity is the portion of your home that you own compared to the portion you owe to the lender. In other words, if your home is valued at $200,000 and you owe $150,000, you have $50,000 in equity – or 25%. When you apply for a Home Equity Line of Credit, your equity serves as collateral for the loan.

A HELOC works very much like a credit card and can be used when you need it. The interest rate may be lower than that of traditional fixed-rate mortgages, credit cards, and other types of personal loans. 

During what is called a “draw period” (typically 5 or 10 years), you can make as many withdrawals as you like up to your credit limit, if and when you need the funds. This may be the perfect solution if you need to borrow small amounts over a longer period, such as for an extensive home renovation project or to pay ongoing tuition fees.

A Home Equity Line of Credit offers a variety of benefits:

  • Draw out only what you need, when you need it

  • Pay interest only on the funds you withdraw 

  • Multiple draw options include checks, online access, telephone access and branch access

  • Repay the principal and reuse the funds over and over again during the draw period 

  • Use it for periodic expenses, such as emergency funds, debt consolidation, tuition, and home improvements

  • Interest may be tax deductible (consult a tax advisor)

  • Local, Pennsylvania decision-making and processing 

  • Attentive, friendly service from start to finish 

  • Bellco Loan Protection is available
