A Fixed Rate Home Equity Loan lets you borrow a one-time lump sum using the equity in your home as collateral. You then repay that amount over a set period with a fixed interest rate, which means your monthly principal and interest payments stay more predictable from month to month.
How the loan is structured
Once approved, you receive your loan funds up front instead of drawing from a revolving credit line over time. Your loan amount, interest rate, and repayment term are established at closing, so you know how the loan is set up from the start.

Why some borrowers choose a fixed rate loan
A Fixed Rate Home Equity Loan may be a good fit when you know how much you need to borrow and want predictable payments for a specific goal, such as home improvements, debt consolidation, tuition, major purchases, or emergency expenses.

What to keep in mind
Because your home secures the loan, approval is subject to application, credit, and property considerations. At People Driven Credit Union, Fixed Rate Home Equity Loans start at $5,000. To better understand what lenders may review during the process, read How to Qualify for a Home Equity Loan.
