Get a Lower Rate

Reduce your loan rate by having your payments deducted automatically from your edUFCU Share Draft Checking Account. Payments may be made bi-weekly, semi-monthly or monthly. (If the Checking Account is closed or payment deduction is stopped for any reason, the interest rate returns to the regular Fixed Home Equity rate.) Consider enrolling in Direct Deposit so that your paychecks are automatically deposited for you each pay period.

Home Equity Line of Credit

If you need access to funds over a longer period of time, you may be better served by a Home Equity Line of Credit. Draw only the funds you need when you need them to keep your payments and interest costs low. A Home Equity Line of Credit should only be used for major expenses such as education, home improvements or medical bills; not for day-to-day expenses.

How much can I borrow?

Appraisal of home = $100,000
Less mortgage debt – $40,000
Potential Credit Line = $40,000
