Lines of Credit

A line of credit is like a rainy-day fund—for any kind of weather. In a nutshell, it’s money on demand you can count on for a planned expense like a home renovation, a business opportunity, or an unexpected cost that can't wait.

Here’s how it works: We agree on a preset amount to lend you. You can take money out of your line of credit anytime, up to the maximum amount. Of course, you’ll pay a low interest rate on the money you borrow—but only on the amount you borrow.

Best of all, a line of credit is flexible and renewable. Flexible: You can withdraw any amount, anytime, and pay it back in installments of any amount above the monthly minimum. Renewable: After you repay the money, you can borrow it again, over and over.


Lines of Credit for Every Need:

Home Equity Line of Credit

Home is where the heart is, and it’s also where you’ll find serious purchasing power. With a home equity line of credit, you can borrow against your home for pretty much whatever you want, whenever you want.

Securities Based Line of Credit

Your investments work hard, so why not let them work even harder? With a securities based line of credit, you can tap into your portfolio's value for personal or business needs without selling a single share.

ChekCredit

We’ve got you covered. With a ChekCredit overdraft protection line of credit, we’ll cover the difference if there’s not enough money in your checking or debit account for a withdrawal or payment. Available in lines of credit from $500-$5,000.

Advantage Line

The ultimate in flexibility, accessibility and renewal-ability. While renewal-ability may not be a real word, access to a revolving, flexible cash flow is very real and a sweet deal. Available in lines of credit from $5,000-$25,000.
