Borrowing with home equity
Home values are up, and that means more equity in your home. Home equity is the difference between what your home is worth and what you owe on it. You can borrow against that value with a home equity installment loan or a home equity line of credit (HELOC) to fund home projects, plan a big event, consolidate debt, and more!
It's home equity you can build on.

Home Equity Installment Loan vs. HELOC
Home Equity Installment Loan
A home equity installment loan is the perfect option if you are unsure how much money you need and want to receive your funds up front with fixed, predictable payments.
Home Equity Line of Credit (HELOC)
A HELOC is a great choice if you want to have control over how much you borrow by taking out what you need when you need it, and only paying interest on what you draw.
