Get Answers to Our Frequently Asked Questions.

Do I need to get a home appraisal?

Yes—MCU will provide valuation services during your application process. To get more information, please contact one of our loan officers.

Is a Home Equity Loan’s interest rate fixed or variable?

An MCU Home Equity Loan has a fixed interest rate and typically delivers the funds to you in one lump sum. If you are looking for a more flexible option with a variable rate, consider a Home Equity Line of Credit (HELOC) with MCU.

What’s the difference between a home equity loan or a home equity line of credit?

Home equity loans and home equity lines of credit (HELOCs) are loans that are secured by the borrower’s home. Because both use your home as collateral, they usually have much better interest terms than personal loans, credit cards, and other unsecured debt. A home equity loan through MCU is paid on a fixed monthly basis, with an interest rate that doesn't change throughout the term of the loan. HELOCs are revolving credit lines that come with variable interest rates. For that reason, borrowers are subject to variable minimum payment amounts.

What can I use a home equity loan to pay for?

A Home Equity Loan can be used to cover almost any cost, some examples include: college tuition, vehicle purchases, buying a second property, consolidating higher interest rate loans, or home improvement projects.
