    What is a HELOC?

    A home equity line of credit, often referred to as a HELOC, is a loan that allows you to borrow, spend, repay, and borrow again as you need it, using your home as collateral. Typically, you can borrow up to a specified percentage of your equity.

     

    With a HELOC, you borrow against your equity. Equity is the value of your home minus the amount you owe on your mortgage. At Independent Bank, we have HELOCs that let you borrow up to 90% of the home's value.


    How does a HELOC work?

    With a HELOC, you’re not borrowing a single lump sum upfront. Instead, you’re opening a revolving line of credit that you can tap into as you choose - a lot like how a credit card works. How much you use and when you decide to access it is up to you. 

    When paying back your HELOC funds, you’re required to make minimum monthly payments, which are interest-only or a minimum of $50.00; whichever is greater. You can pay off the principal in a single lump-sum or over time like you do with your mortgage.
