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.

Home Equity Line of Credit – For Maximum Flexibility

A HVB Home Equity Line of Credit is an excellent way to ensure that you have ready access to needed funds up to 80% of your home's equity.

Once approved, you’ll receive special checks so you can write yourself a loan whenever you choose. This gives you the flexibility to borrow cash at the time you want and in the amount you need. We offer credit lines from $7,500 to $100,000 or more. You only pay interest on the money you actually borrow. The interest you pay on your Home Equity Line of Credit may even be tax deductible. Be sure to ask your tax advisor.

As you repay the principal, these funds become available again for your use. There are no renewal fees.
