Home Equity Loans

A More Secure Way to Borrow

Your home has value. A home equity loan can help you make the most of it. By putting your home as collateral, you can secure a lower interest rate and pay for big expenses such as a home remodel, college, or consolidate debt.

What type of Home Equity Loan is right for me?

If you do not know how much money you will need, or if you plan on using the money over an extended period of time, you may want a home equity line-of-credit. With a line-of-credit, you have a maximum limit and are charged interest only on the amount you use at any given time. You will receive convenience checks so that you can write a check for the amount you need or deposit it into your SMACU checking account.

If you plan on making one single purchase, or you know the amount of money you need, you may want a fixed rate home equity loan. That means you receive the entire balance at the time you take out the loan.
