Home Equity Loans

home equity

Spending your savings on a major expense doesn’t always make sense.

A better solution for homeowners may be a Prime Home Equity Line-of-Credit (HELOC)1 or a Single Advance Home Equity Loan from Dow Credit Union. A HELOC or Home Equity Loan can be used for major purchases, remodeling projects, home repairs, emergencies, or to pay off higher-rate debt. Plus, they both qualify for our potential year-end Loan Interest Rebate, which is a part of our unique Member Giveback.2

Dow Credit Union offers a fast, 10-day conditional approval3 and competitive closing costs.4 And, your loan is serviced at Dow Credit Union.

Both the Prime Home Equity Line-of-Credit and Single Advance Home Equity Loan offer loan amounts up to $250,000 and are available on primary and secondary homes.5

 

 

1. HELOC Annual Percentage Rate (APR) varies quarterly based on the Wall Street Journal prime rates + 0.00% in effect on the 25th of the month preceding the end of the calendar quarter. The potential maximum rate is 18.00% APR. HELOC draw period is 10 years. Other limitations may apply. 
2. While Member Giveback rebates and rewards occur with great regularity, this credit union benefit is not guaranteed. Not all loan and deposit products are eligible for Member Giveback consideration. Some limitations apply.

Borrowers may receive, upon request, an itemization of the fees imposed by third parties.

Qualified borrowers who already have a Dow Credit Union rebate-eligible mortgage1 or single advance home equity may be eligible for the Instant Rate Modification Program, which allows members to apply to lower their interest rate as frequently as they wish when rates decline – without a full refinance. For a fee, members may be able to lower their rate a minimum of 0.250% to the current rate. The Mortgage Rate Modification fee is 0.75% of the outstanding principal balance on the date the application is received, up to a maximum of $1,250.00. Dow Credit Union reserves the right to change or terminate the rate modification program at our discretion.

If you have additional questions or would like to apply, please call 800.835.7794 or submit a Secure Message available within Online Banking or our Mobile App.
