What is the maximum I can borrow?

CEFCU can lend up to 90% of the value of your home (less any first mortgage balances) on a Hybrid HELOC. Each application is subject to underwriting and loan policies and may not be eligible for the maximum amount. The maximum Hybrid HELOC credit line available is $500,000.

What is my Hybrid HELOC interest rate?

The Hybrid HELOC rate is based on the Prime Rate as published in the Wall Street Journal. The best rate available is the Prime Rate plus a base margin. Your unique interest rate may differ, though, and is based on your credit score (FICO) and the amount you borrow in relation to your home’s value — referred to as Loan-to-Value (LTV) and/or Combined Loan-to-Value (CLTV).

How do I access my Hybrid HELOC?

There are several convenient ways you can access your Hybrid HELOC — CEFCU On-Line, by calling 1.800.633.7077, using Home Equity checks, or by visiting a CEFCU Member Center. Home Equity checks would have been ordered for you when your Loan closing was scheduled.
