Frequently Asked Questions
What is Prime Rate and Margin when it pertains to my Member Rate? A HELOC (Home Equity Line of Credit) prime rate is the interest rate that serves as a benchmark for setting HELOC interest rates. The prime rate is often tied to the federal funds rate set by the Federal Reserve, meaning it can fluctuate based on economic conditions and Federal Reserve policy changes.

For a HELOC, the interest rate is typically expressed as the prime rate plus a margin. For example, if the prime rate is 8.75% and the margin is 0.25%, the HELOC rate would be 9.00%. This margin can vary based on the borrower's creditworthiness and the lending institution's policies.
Who is eligible for a HELOC? Homeowners with equity in their homes. Take your home's value, and then subtract all amounts that are owed on that property. The difference is the amount of equity you have. For example, if you have a property worth $400,000, and the total mortgage balances owed on the property are $200,000, then you have a total of $200,000 in equity.2
Are there fees I can expect with this process? Estimated costs related to the process: Drive-by Appraisal ($400.00), Title Fees ($350.00-$450.00), Origination Fee ($60.00). Late payment charge will be 5.00% of payment amount. Enjoy NO FEES to apply for this product, annual service, or for pre-payment!
