Disclaimer

1 APR = Annual Percentage Rate. Subject to approval. The APR for a Traditional or Interest-Only Civic Federal Credit Union Home Equity Line of Credit (HELOC) is variable during the draw period and based on Prime Rate as published in the Wall Street Journal, ten days before the end of the prior month (called the "Index"), plus a margin. The margin starts at 1% APR. Your margin will be determined by several factors including but not limited to your credit qualifications, combined loan-to-value and loan amount. The maximum APR for a HELOC is 18%. Rates are subject to change daily. Civic membership must be established prior to scheduled closing. No purchase money seconds. Adequate property and flood insurance are required for the life of the loan. The minimum loan amount for a HELOC is $5,000 and the maximum is $250,000, but the loan cannot exceed the value of the home. If your loan requires an appraisal, title insurance, or attorney fees, they must be paid at the borrower’s expense. Fees range from $700 to $4,000. Traditional HELOC payment example: $80,000 at 8.50% APR, estimated monthly payments of $1,400.00. Interest-only payment example: $80,000 at 9.00% APR, estimated monthly payments of $600.00.

3 Property must be located in NC, SC, GA, or VA. Home equity lines of credit are not available for manufactured homes or investment properties.
