Home Equity Loan (Fixed Rate) | as low as 6.40%* | |
*Annual Percentage Rate (APR) shown is accurate as of 5.1.24 and is available to well-qualified borrowers for a term up to 60 months, in first lien position, and a loan-to-value (LTV) ratio of 80% or less. Offer is only valid for new, fixed rate home equity loan applications submitted between 5.1.24 - 7.31.24, that are approved and opened within 60 days of the application date. Rate is determined by credit history, the term of the loan, the Loan to Value (LTV) ratio, and lien position. If you borrow $10,000 - $49,999, FFCCU may cover up to $500 in closing costs. If you borrow $50,000 or more, FFCCU may cover up to $800 in closing costs. Borrowers who incur closing costs, such as appraisal, title search, and flood search, during the application process, but whose loan does not close for any reason, including but not limited to, borrower electing to withdraw application, or if the results from the appraisal, title search, or flood search render the application ineligible for approval, are responsible for all closing fees incurred. For home equity loans, repayment terms are 60 to 180 months at varying rates. For example: For a $20,000 home equity loan for a term of 60 months with a 5.99% APR, payment would be $386.56 monthly. |
