Home Equity Loans
Turn the Value in Your Home into Opportunity
A home equity loan lets you use the value you’ve built in your home to fund what matters most—whether that’s home improvements, debt consolidation, or a big life expense. At River Valley Credit Union, our experienced local mortgage lenders walk you through the process step by step, explaining everything in plain language. We proudly serve members across the Miami Valley with personal service, local decisions, and a process that keeps things simple.
Our Home Equity Loan Options
Fixed-Rate
Turn your equity into a one‑time lump sum.
A fixed‑rate home equity loan lets you borrow a lump sum using your home’s equity, with a set rate and steady payment schedule. Many members use this for renovations, large purchases, or consolidating debt.
Best Option If:
- You want a one‑time lump‑sum loan
- You want a fixed interest rate
- You want predictable monthly payments
- You want a clear payoff timeline
Line of Credit (HELOC)
Flexible access to funds when you need them.
A HELOC gives you a revolving line of credit secured by your home. Borrow what you need, when you need it, and only pay interest on what you use.
Best Option If:
- You want access to funds as you need them
- You want to pay interest only on the amount you use
- You have ongoing projects (home improvements or emergencies)
- You want easy access to available funds in mobile and online banking
