FAQs About HELOCs

What’s the difference between a credit union home equity loan and a HELOC?

Both these products let you access the equity in your home using your home as collateral so you can usually get lower interest rates than other types of loans. The interest you pay on these products may be tax deductible, consult your tax advisor for more information.  Another advantage is that there may be less paperwork and lower closing costs than if you did a cash-out mortgage refinance. 

Here’s what to know about a HELOC vs. home equity loan:

A HELOC works in a similar way to a credit card in that you have a credit limit and you can use as much or as little of the money as you need at any given time. You can then use the funds again after you pay some or all of the money back.

  • The draw period is how long you have to use the money and you typically have an additional repayment period. 
  • You only pay interest on the portion of money used. 
  • Each month, you can pay the minimum due, a larger portion, or the complete balance. 

By contrast, a home equity loan is a type of fixed-rate installment loan similar to many personal loans or auto loans.

  • You borrow an agreed-upon amount and receive the money in a lump sum payment. 
  • You then make regular monthly payments over your loan term until the loan is paid off in full. 
  • Rates are fixed, so budgeting can be simpler than for a HELOC.
