How It Works
How It Works
- You may draw or borrow against your HELOC as often or as little as you need during the term of your HELOC.
- Depending on your payment option, minimum payments will equal interest only or 1% of the outstanding balance ($100 minimum), with a final balloon payment at maturity.
- Prior to maturity, you may apply to renew the term of your HELOC. Contact us today to discuss available options.

- We may pay some or all of the third party fees you must pay in connection with opening a Credit Line (collectively “Closing Costs”) based on rate option (not available for Promo Rate offer), creditworthiness, the amount and term of the Credit Line, and the property location. Closing costs vary by state. In Georgia, for Credit Lines of $250,000 or less with a 35 month term, we will pay all Closing Costs; otherwise, we will pay Closing Costs up to $750. For Credit Lines of $250,000 or less in AL, FL, NC, SC and VA, we will pay all Closing Costs. However, for all Credit Lines of $250,000 or less, if the appraisal cost exceeds $160, you are responsible for paying all amounts over $160 for the appraisal. For Credit Lines greater than $250,000, we will pay Closing Costs up to $1,800 in Florida, up to $1,300 in Virginia, up to $800 in Alabama, and up to $750 in Georgia, North Carolina and South Carolina. Should you close your Credit Line within 30 months from the anniversary date of the Credit Line closing, you must reimburse us for all Closing Costs paid by us on your behalf. The requirement to reimburse us for any Closing Costs paid by us on your behalf shall be waived if you keep your Credit Line opened for at least 30 months. The reimbursement of Closing Costs provision does not apply to Credit Lines originated by North Carolina residents. We will not pay any amounts towards Closing Costs for any renewal, extension or refinance of the Credit Line.
