Home Equity Loans

Put Your Home's Equity to Work

With every mortgage payment you make, you build equity in your home. That equity can be a valuable financial tool, giving you added flexibility for planned expenses, major purchases, or unexpected needs.

Peoples Bank offers two ways to access the equity in your home: Flexline Home Equity Line of Credit and a Fixed Home Equity Loan. These options may help you:

  • Finance home repairs or remodeling projects
  • Consolidate debt into a more manageable single payment
  • Fund college tuition or graduate programs
  • Cover an unexpected major expense
  • Pay for other important expenses

You may read What You Should Know About Home Equity Lines of Credit (HELOC) from the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, helping you understand your options when borrowing against the equity in your home.

If you're interested in a home equity loan solution, we invite you to complete our online application.
