Home Equity
Putting Your Home's Equity to Use
Transfer a home equity loan or line and get up to $250 cash1.
You've worked hard to build equity in your home. Now you can use it, on anything from home improvements to paying off debts to financing an education. You can borrow up to 100% of your home's value, less your remaining mortgage balance.
Fixed Home Equity Loans
Opening a Home Equity Loan gives you a lump sum amount at a low, competitive fixed rate.
Variable Home Equity Line of Credit (HELOC)
With a HELOC, you can borrow funds when you need it with competitive variable rates as low as 7.00%2.
Both Home Equity Loans and HELOCs come with:
- Up to $250 cash back when you transfer an existing Home Equity Loan or Line of Credit to BCU1
- Low closing costs3
- A rate reduction up to 0.50% APR4 when you qualify for Rewards Rates.
Alternatively, if you’re looking for quick access to funds less than $20,000, you can do so without tapping into your home’s equity. Check out an Unsecured Home Improvement Line of Credit.
