What is a Home Equity Loan?
Tap into the equity of your home with a Home Equity Loan from bankcda.
A Home Equity Loan is a single, lump-sum payment secured by the equity in your home. It has a fixed interest rate set for the life of the loan. You begin paying back the principal and interest immediately with fixed, equal monthly payments. This gives you a predictable repayment schedule for the life of the loan, up to 20 years.
Requirements to get a Home Equity Loan
To qualify, you’ll generally need a FICO® score of 660 or higher and no history of bankruptcy. We also consider factors like:
- The amount of equity in your home
- Employment history
- Monthly income and current debt
