Home equity line of credit (HELOC)

Need Extra Cash?
Tap into your greatest financial resource -- YOUR HOME!


Need a new kitchen? A big tuition bill around the corner? Home improvements? When you need money to pay for major expenses, the equity that is built up in your home can be a source of real borrowing power.

Equity is the difference between the market or appraised value of your home, and the balance of all mortgages on it. At Community 1 Federal Credit Union, we'll lend you up to 95% of the equity in your home, without affecting your original home mortgage!

  • Have your payments automatically debited from your Community 1 checking or savings account
