Prefer something more predictable? Apply for a one-time payout with fixed payments. 

  •  Borrow up to 85% of your home’s equity, with a $5,000 minimum1.  
  • Your rate and term stay fixed, so your monthly payment stays the same. Plus, there’s no penalty for paying it off early.

Cash-Out Refinance

Replace your mortgage with a new one—and turn part of your equity into cash to use now. 

  • A cash-out refinance may change your rate, payment or loan term. 
  • Get your funds in one lump sum for renovations, debt consolidation or other big expenses. 
  • Because you’re increasing your mortgage balance, this option works best when it comfortably fits your budget.
  • The amount you can borrow depends on your home’s value and your lender’s loan-to-value limits*.
