HELOC how-to

How Does a HELOC work, anyway?

A Home Equity Line of Credit (HELOC) allows you to draw against the equity in your home as a line of credit, then pay it back over a long period of time.

  • Borrow up to 100% of your home’s equity
  • Low monthly payments spread over long periods of time
  • Although we offer higher limits, Columbia CU offers a credit for the first $400 in closing costs*

See rates and disclosures.

A Fixed Home Equity Loan allows you to get a lump sum from a 2nd mortgage.

  • For when you know exactly how much money you need
  • Receive funds in a lump sum with a fixed rate
  • Terms up to 15 years
