Notes for Home Equity Line of Credit

  1. Rate may adjust as often as daily during the draw period and monthly during the repayment period based on changes in the Wall Street Journal (WSJ) Prime Rate plus a margin. Maximum APR is 18%.
    • A 0.25% loan rate discount will be automatically applied to a loan to which you are primary and are in the same primary membership for each month you meet the Relationship Rewards checking Level 2 requirements. If you no longer meet Level 2 requirements the rate discount will be automatically removed. As the 0.25% loan discount may be removed based on qualifications, your interest rate may fluctuate.
  2. The maximum loan-to-value is 90% of the calculated value. Maximum loan-to-value ratios may be different as determined by the individual creditworthiness of each applicant.
  3. Draws may be taken at any time within 10 years. Draw period with interest only payments, followed by a 20-year repayment plan. During the repayment period, payments will be due monthly and will be amortized over 240 months. The minimum payment will change whenever the annual percentage rate changes in order to be paid in full during the repayment period.
  4. STCU pays fees (excluding appraisal fee, if applicable). Reconveyance fee will be paid by the borrower and assessed at the time of payoff.
  5. During the Advance Period, you may elect to "lock in" or convert a portion of your variable-rate outstanding balance to a fixed APR over a set term. The minimum amount that may be locked is $5,000 and the maximum term of the lock feature is 20 years. An origination fee may apply to the balance of the locked portion and if so, this fee will be disclosed at the time the lock feature is exercised. There is no limit to the number of times that the lock feature may be exercised but you may only have 3 locked balances at any given time. Example payment: $25,000 off a 5-year term will yield a monthly payment of $494.91 assuming an interest rate of 6.99%. Payments do not include taxes and insurance premiums. If applicable, the actual payment obligation may be greater.
