Home Equity Line Rates

Bellwether offers two different HELOC products; *Home Equity Line and **Home Equity Plus Line of Credit. Rates shown are for well-qualified borrowers. For each product, the Annual Percentage Rate (APR) is variable and will be based on your creditworthiness and ability to repay. Rates are variable, based on the Wall Street Journal Prime (as of 10/1/24, 8.00%), and are subject to change at any time. In order to open and maintain your home equity loan account, an annual fee of $50 is due on the Anniversary Date of your Agreement. To open the plan you must also pay certain fees to third parties, generally totaling between $0 and $1,500. A $344 early termination fee may apply if the account is closed within three years from account opening. If your property is held in a trust, an upfront, non-refundable $175 trust review fee applies; otherwise, there are no origination/application fees. If you pay interest only, you still owe the amounts drawn, and your monthly payment will increase when the interest-only period ends. Homeowners insurance is required. HELOCs not offered for rental or investment properties. If property is in a flood zone, flood insurance is required.
