Home Equity Line of Credit (HELOC)

¹ Home Equity loans and lines of credit are available on California properties only. 8.250% APR (annual percentage rate) and other terms shown are accurate as of 6/2/2023 and apply to a HELOC for the most qualified applicant at CLTV up to 80%. Not all applicants will qualify for the lowest rate. Rates vary based on property value, line amount and other factors, and will vary for second or vacation homes. The minimum periodic payment is interest-only for the first ten years (“draw period”) followed by fully-amortizing payments to repay the balance over the final fifteen years. No draws will be allowed during the repayment period. Payments and rate can adjust monthly. Payments will increase if rates increase. At the end of the draw period, your required monthly payments will increase because you will be paying both principal and interest. The rate is calculated using an index plus a margin. The index used is the Prime Rate as published in The Wall Street Journal Western Edition on the last business day of the month prior to the change. The current prime index is 8.25. Minimum interest rate is 3%. Maximum interest rate is 17%.

² Rate and payments are based on Prime plus a margin. Changes to Prime will result in changes to the rate and payment. After your loan closes, you have the option to lock in a portion or all of your existing equity balance on your new Patelco Home Equity Line of Credit into a fixed rate at 7, 10, or 15 years. Rates may vary and are subject to change. You may only have one fixed-rate option on either all or a portion of your balance at a time. Your fixed rate balance will reduce the amount of available credit for future draws on your equity line. Any future draws will be at the variable rate and payment in effect on your loan at the time of the draw. You will receive a separate statement and make separate principal and interest payments for the fixed-rate portion of your balance. The maximum term available for a fixed rate option is 15 years. Other restrictions may apply.

³ Patelco runs a “soft” credit pull to determine which pre-qualification offer you qualify for. This doesn’t affect your credit score. If you choose to proceed with a loan application, Patelco will request your full credit report from one or more credit reporting agencies. This will be a “hard” pull and may affect your credit. If necessary, we may also share certain information about you with third parties, like our insurers, to process your request.

⁴ The minimum credit line amount is $10,000 and the maximum is $500,000. Patelco Credit Union will pay customary closing costs on lines up to $250,000 in second lien position.
