Borrowing from the value of your home.
Access your home equity with one simple application and use your funds to help you achieve your financial goals! While consolidating many outstanding debts into one streamlined loan payment is very common, HELOC's can be used for many purposes.
A CCCU Home Equity Line of Credit (HELOC) is a great way to finance all of life's planned and unplanned events.
Our HELOC is a revolving source of money secured by the equity in your home, which you can access for up to 15 years. CCCU even allows you to lock in your rate for 5 or 15 years. After your draw period, you will have 15 additional years to repay the loan balance (your repayment period) in monthly installments. While you are able to borrow up to 80% of your home's appraised value, you are only required to take a minimum line amount of $10,000.
With a HELOC, the possibilities are truly limitless.
Take the edge off of your next home improvement project by relying on a CCCU Home Equity Line of Credit to get the job done right. Repairs, renovations, and remodels are less stressful when you know you have the flexibility of a HELOC on your side.

Because a HELOC is borrowed against the equity in your home, you must be a homeowner to apply for this type of loan. Other application consideration factors include your income, employment status, credit score and history, and how much you'd like to borrow.
Both a HELOC and a home equity loan use your home's equity as collateral. While a home equity loan is a fixed term loan that involves a single disbursement of funds, a HELOC is a revolving, variable line of credit that makes funds available for withdrawal and repayment over a set period of time.
Yes, you can refinance your existing HELOC with CCCU. If you have a HELOC at another institution, contact us. In many cases, we’re able to offer a lower interest rate and could save you money.
In order to access your CCCU line of credit, you must first transfer the funds from your HELOC to a CCCU checking or savings account. Once the transfer to your CCCU checking or savings account is complete, you’ll have access to writing personal checks and using your debit card with the transferred funds from your HELOC!
You can easily initiate a same-day transfer to your CCCU checking or savings account via online banking or the mobile app.
When the HELOC funds, the entire credit limit is available for disbursement. How you choose to use it is up to you. You can use all of it, some of it, or even leave it at a $0 balance for future use. Best of all, you only pay interest on the amount you actually use!
Like most HELOCs, our HELOC is an open-ended loan with a variable interest rate. This rate is based on the Wall Street Journal prime rate, plus or minus the margin. The frequency of when interest rate changes may occur will vary based on the HELOC structure you choose.
