Home Equity Loan and Line of Credit Options

Choosing a home equity loan or line of credit depends on your personal goals and needs.

A home equity line of credit is a revolving line of credit based on the available equity in your home.

A home equity loan is extended to you in one lump sum, which is paid back in stable, fixed monthly payments. To learn more about choosing one of these products, see our Home Equity Loans and Lines of Credit – Introduction page.
