Learn about membershipHow does a home equity line of credit work?
A home equity line of credit (also called a HELOC) is an open revolving form of credit that’s secured by the paid value of your home. You can apply for a home equity line of credit up to 85% of your home’s equity, or the difference between what’s currently owed on their home loan and the market value of it. Home equity lines of credit usually have better interest rates and more flexible repayment terms than any other loan type. Unlike traditional loans, funds are withdrawn as needed rather than being received in a lump sum (similar to a credit card).
It's also worth noting that you may have a "draw" period, during which time any available funds can be accessed, generally ranging from 5-10 years. After the draw period, any withdrawn funds will need to be repaid, either immediately or within a set time. HELOCs are used most often to pay for home improvement projects, but they can be spent however you choose — a wedding, vacations, adoption, debt consolidation, and more.
For new members, you can apply by using our online application, starting a video call with Clearview Live®, visiting your local financial center, or calling us directly at 1-800-926-0003.
Once an application is completed, it’s either sent to underwriting for review, or for closing if it has been pre-approved or instant approved.
