Borrow what you need, when you need it
Be prepared for big or unexpected expenses—from college costs to a major remodel
With a home equity line of credit, you can tap into the money any time you need it, borrowing only as much as you need. You can use the money for anything from remodeling your home to paying for college.
HELOCs are great when you know that you’re going to have ongoing expenses. You can access the money at a branch, ATM, online, or by phone.
