Why choose a home equity line of credit?

Tapping into your home's equity for remodeling your home can help you cover costly expenses and potentially increase your property’s value. It’s a great tool for unplanned expenses, consolidating higher interest rate debt like credit cards or auto loans, and financing a home remodel or repairs.

For a limited time, we are waiving many fees that are commonly charged, too:

  • No application fee**
  • No Closing Costs1
  • No Set-up Charge**
  • No Annual Fee for the First Year**

You can also access your home’s equity with a cash-out refinance, where your existing home loan is replaced with a new one at a higher loan amount than you owe, and you receive any remaining funds to use as you wish. Call us to learn more.

Home Equity Line of Credit features variable rates based on the Prime Rate published each day in The Wall Street Journal Money Rates Table (the "Index"), plus a margin. The APR can change monthly, but will not vary above 18% APR, or below 3.99% APR for 1-4 family owner-occupied/second homes. For non-owner occupied 1-4 family homes the APR will not go below 5.99%. The index as of the last date changed on 12/19/2024 is 7.50%. As of 12/19/2024, the variable rate for home equity credit lines of $20,000-$250,000, with a combined-loan-to-value ratio (CLTV) up to 75% range from 8.00% APR to 8.25% APR on an owner-occupied 1-4 family residence and from 9.50% APR to 9.75% APR on non-owner occupied 1-4 family homes. APR includes a 0.25% interest rate discount for maintaining automatic loan payments (ALP) from a Fremont Bank personal checking account. ALP discount only applicable as long as automatic payments are set up from a Fremont Bank personal checking account. Only one ALP discount per home equity line of credit will apply. The removal of any discount will increase the rate. Higher rates may apply for credit limits below $20,000 or above $250,000, and/or lien position. Rates are subject to change without notice.

We may reduce or suspend your credit limit if any of the conditions that existed at the time your HELOC was opened change significantly, such as the value of your home declines, we reasonably believe you may no longer be able meet the repayment terms, or you default on a material provision of your HELOC agreement.

Choosing a minimum interest-only monthly payments will not repay the principal that is outstanding on your line. Your monthly payment may increase, possibly substantially, once your credit line transitions into the repayment period.

Consult your tax advisor regarding the deductibility of interest and charges.

The 6-month promotional Annual Percentage Rate (APR) for the first 6 months after the loan funds will be fixed at 5.99% for primary and second homes, and fixed at 6.49% on investment properties. After the introductory rate period ends, the loan will become a variable rate loan and all remaining balances will convert to the variable rate based on the Prime Rate in effect as published in The Wall Street Journal, plus a margin, per the terms of borrower’s credit agreement. The minimum monthly payments will be interest-only payments. All home loan programs are subject to credit qualification, income verification, and collateral evaluation.
