If you're not sure how much money you'll need, a Home Equity Line of Credit (HELOC) will give you flexible funding to draw on to cover various expenses secured by the equity in your home.

Draw as much or as little from your HELOC up to your approved limit and only pay on what you borrow.

Home equity lines of credit are secured by the equity in your home, meaning you can enjoy much lower rates compared to other types of personal financing. With low rates come big savings!
Flexible financing to help you pay for ongoing costs
A HELOC isn't a loan that comes in a lump sum. You'll have access to a line of credit on which you can draw as much or as little as you need. Lines of credit are ideal for ongoing variable costs, like renovating your home, funding a vacation, covering medical expenses, or paying for education, to name a few.
