Turn Your Home Equity Into Possibility

For a limited time, PDCU will waive closing costs up to $495 on a Home Equity Line of Credit, also known as a HELOC, for a primary residence.

A HELOC can give you flexible access to the equity you have built in your home. You can use the funds for home improvements, repairs, education costs, major purchases, unexpected expenses, or other qualified needs.

What is a Home Equity Line of Credit?

A Home Equity Line of Credit is a revolving line of credit secured by your home. Instead of receiving all the funds at once, you can access money as needed during the draw period, up to your approved credit limit.

That flexibility can make a HELOC a practical option when you know you may need funds, but you are not sure exactly how much you will need upfront.

Why Choose a HELOC?

  • Flexible access to funds: Use what you need, when you need it, up to your approved credit limit.
  • Useful for larger projects: A HELOC may help cover home renovations, repairs, education costs, or major expenses.
  • Potential savings: During this special, PDCU will waive closing costs up to $495 for eligible HELOCs.
  • Local service: Work with a Michigan credit union that understands local homeowners and local communities.
  • Online application: Apply from your phone or computer without visiting a branch.

Ways to Use Your Home Equity

Your home equity can help you handle planned expenses without dipping into savings or using higher-rate borrowing options. Common uses include:

  • Kitchen, bathroom, or basement renovations
  • Roof, window, furnace, or major home repairs
  • Outdoor projects, including decks, patios, or landscaping
  • Education expenses
  • Large purchases or life events
  • Consolidating higher-rate debt into one payment

Before using home equity to consolidate debt, review the full cost, repayment terms, and your budget. A HELOC is secured by your home, so it is important to borrow carefully.

How the Home Equity Special Works

Beginning May 26, 2026, eligible borrowers can save up to $495 on closing costs when they open a qualifying PDCU Home Equity Line of Credit for their primary residence.
