A HELOC is a variable-rate real estate loan that allows you to use up to 100% of the equity in your home to use when you need it over a 15-year period. As you repay the funds, you can use them again for other purposes.

It's an instant-access loan account. Tap into it anytime to make purchases, cover repairs, pay tuition bills - or do anything else life calls for.

If a member’s car is a total loss due to collision or theft, GAP (Guaranteed Asset Protection) helps cover the difference between the insurance company’s settlement and the outstanding loan balance. GAP is offered at loan closing, but is not required and is not a factor in determining whether to grant a loan. GAP insurance protects the borrower for the life of the loan and the one-time cost is added to the initial loan balance.
