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
- 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.
