Home Equity Loans/Lines of Credit

How much can you borrow? See Fixed Rate Home Equity Rates Apply Now

Maybe you need money for home improvements or to cover educational expenses. Perhaps you’d like cash to take a well-earned vacation or consolidate your bills into one easy-to-manage monthly payment.

If you are a homeowner, we can help. Our Home Equity Lines of Credit and our Home Equity Fixed Rate/Fixed Term Loans are two great ways to get the funds you want. Even if you don’t have available equity, you may save by refinancing with a lower rate from HVB.

At HVB, you can borrow up to 80% of your home’s equity on fixed home equity loans or home equity lines of credit even if you don’t have a mortgage with us. Approvals are based on credit, income, and the appraised value of your property. HVB will be the first or second mortgage lien holder on your primary residence.

Regardless of which option you select, there are no application fees or annual fees. You also qualify for our discounted Auto-Pay rate if you have your monthly loan payment automatically deducted from a HVB savings or checking account.
