How do HELOCs work?

A home equity line of credit is revolving credit that uses your home equity as collateral. You apply once, tap into your line as needed and pay interest only on the funds you draw.* Once you’re approved, we set a credit limit based on your needs and credit history.

 

REVOLVING CREDIT, EASY ACCESS


As you repay the principal, more funds become available for use. Access funds via mail, in person, online or phone transfers to your F&M checking account online. Simplify your money management by setting up automatic payments.

Frequently Asked Questions

A HELOC lets you borrow against the equity in your home through a revolving line of credit. You can draw funds as needed during the draw period and repay what you borrow over time.  A home equity loan provides a one-time lump sum with fixed payments, while a HELOC gives you ongoing access to funds that you can borrow and repay as needed.  You can use a HELOC for home improvements, debt consolidation, education expenses, major purchases, or other significant expenses.
