As a homeowner, you have likely built up equity you may not even realize you can utilize. Whether you are planning an exciting new renovation or preparing for a major expense, a HELOC or Home Equity Line of Credit from First Reliance Bank can give you the flexibility to access funds when you need them.
Like many of our other banking solutions, our personalized tools ensure that your HELOC suits your financial goals instead of following a one-size-fits-all approach. Our local team of customer service and banking professionals are ready to help you use our HELOC options for financial flexibility.
What Is the Difference Between a HELOC and a Home Equity Loan?
While a HELOC and a home equity loan are both methods for borrowing money using the value of your home, there are a few key differences that set them apart.
A HELOC gives you access to a revolving line of credit, similar to a credit card, but with lower interest rates and the added benefit of being backed by the equity in your home.
A home equity loan is a type of second mortgage, giving you a lump sum of cash at one time when the loan closes.
When you choose a HELOC from First Reliance Bank, you can use your flexible line of credit only as you need it, pay interest only on what you borrow, and reuse the line as you repay it.
