Home Equity Line of Credit

Home Equity Line of Credit

Use the equity in your home to get a secured line of credit today! With a Home Equity Line of Credit or HELOC, equity can be released to be used for any purpose; it can even help you in planning your investments, including the establishment of a fund for your children's educational needs.

HELOC is attached to a chequing account and simple to use. You can access these funds through direct payment purchases using your debit card, by writing cheques, or through cash withdrawals. You will receive monthly statements, allowing easy management of your finances. Your account can also be linked to the telephone banking service, ensuring your account information is always only a phone call away.

• Flexible repayment options — you can just make the required interest monthly payment or pay a larger amount up to the entire balance
• Your line of credit has no expiry date — it's yours as long as you need it
