About Home Equity Loans

Unlocking the equity in your home is a great way to fund home improvement projects like an all-new kitchen or a new pool for those hot Texas summers. You can also use a Home Equity loan to consolidate higher interest debt, make a large purchase, pay for your student’s college – or any other reason you have. Enjoy a low rate, lump sum disbursement, fixed-rate payments, and flexible terms available up to 180 months.
