Benefits of a Home Equity Line of Credit

HELOCs can be helpful tools to maximize cash flow when you need it most. Although your home serves as collateral for your HELOC, you aren’t required to use the funds on home improvements. To access your HELOC, transfer the funds to your SouthState checking account through Online Banking or the SouthState Mobile App, or contact a branch to request checks.3

Here are a few key benefits to a HELOC:

How It Works

A simple dark blue outline icon of a house with a chimney and a door.
  • You may draw on your HELOC as often or as little as you need, up to your approved credit limit, during your HELOC’s draw period. 1
  • During the draw period, you will be required to make minimum payments of interest only.
  • After the draw period ends, you will enter the repayment period. During that time, your monthly payments will include principal and interest and will be based on your outstanding balance, the current variable interest rate, and the remaining repayment term.
  • If you'd like to extend the term of your HELOC, you may apply to renew or refinance your HELOC. Contact a banker to discuss available options.

    Interest may be tax deductible if you meet certain IRS conditions2

    While a HELOC may be used for any purpose up to your available credit limit, borrowers should carefully consider whether a HELOC is appropriate for their specific needs, as it converts expenses into debt secured by their home, and failure to repay could result in foreclosure.

    Primary residences only. Minimum loan amount $10,000. Minimum advance of $10,000 required at closing. After the initial minimum advance of $10,000, draws on HELOCs secured by a Texas Homestead are required to be no less than $4,000 per draw. Hazard insurance is required; flood insurance may apply. Other exclusions and limitations apply. All loans are subject to credit approval. Not all applicants will qualify for the advertised Annual Percentage Rate (APR). APRs and product terms are subject to change based on borrower eligibility and market conditions.

    Please consult your tax advisor about the deductibility of interest.

    Transfers through SouthState Online Banking or Mobile App are not available for HELOCs secured by a Texas Homestead. Third party message, data, or internet service provider fees may apply.

    5.74% Annual Percentage Rate (APR) will be fixed for the first 12 months (introductory period). After the introductory period, the interest rate will be variable and based on the Wall Street Journal U.S. Prime Rate (WSJ Prime) which is 7.00% as of September 17, 2026. The minimum APR is 3.25% and maximum APR is 16.00%. Maximum term 360 Months. Minimum payment during the 120 Month draw period is interest owed, plus any amount past due and all other charges. Minimum payment during the 240 Month repayment period is principal and interest owed, plus any amount past due and all other charges. Estimated closing costs range from $339 to $6,203, which includes, but not limited to, appraisal, flood determination and settlement fees. Additional fees may apply and vary based on collateral location and loan amount. 

    6.85% Annual Percentage Rate (APR) is fixed rate for the first 48 months and current as of July 20, 2026. Thereafter, the interest rate will be variable and based on the Wall Street Journal U.S. Prime Rate (WSJ Prime) which is 7.00% as of September 17, 2026. The minimum APR is 3.25% and maximum APR is 16.00%. Maximum term 360 months. Minimum payment during the 60 Month draw period is interest owed, plus any amount past due and all other charges. Minimum payment during the 240 Month repayment period is principal and interest owed, plus any amount past due and all other charges. Estimated closing costs range from $339 to $6,203, which includes, but not limited to, appraisal, flood determination and settlement fees. Additional fees may apply and vary based on collateral location and loan amount.

    7.50% Annual Percentage Rate (APR) is variable, includes a .50% margin, and subject to change based on the Wall Street Journal U.S. Prime Rate (WSJ Prime) which is 7.00% as of September 17, 2026. The minimum APR is 3.25% and maximum APR is 16.00%. Maximum term 360 Months. Minimum payment during the 120 Month draw period is interest owed, plus any amount past due and all other charges. Minimum payment during the 240 Month repayment period is principal and interest owed, plus any amount past due and all other charges.

Additional fees may apply and vary based on collateral location and loan amount.

    We may pay some or all of the third-party fees you must pay in connection with opening a Credit Line (collectively ”Closing Costs”). Closing costs vary by state. For Credit Lines of $250,000 or less 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 $1,200 in Georgia, up to $1,000 in Texas, up to $800 in Alabama, and up to $750 in Colorado, North Carolina, South Carolina and Tennessee. Should you close your Credit Line within 30 months from the anniversary date of the Credit Line closing, you will 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 open for at least 30 months. The reimbursement of Closing Costs provision does not apply to Credit Lines originated by North Carolina or Texas residents. We will not pay any amounts towards Closing Costs for any future extension or refinance of the Credit Line.

    As you pay down your mortgage, a Home Equity Line of Credit (HELOC) becomes a valuable loan option for you. With interest rates lower than many other financing options, a HELOC from SouthState can provide you with a revolving line of credit to help you maximize your cash flow when you need it most.

    Whether you’re funding home renovations, sending a child to college, paying for a wedding, or consolidating debt – we’ll work alongside you to find a HELOC option that works best for your needs. As an added bonus, if you meet certain IRS conditions, the interest you pay may be tax deductible.2
