Turn Your Home’s Value Into Cash

Need money for big expenses like home renovations, tuition, or debt consolidation? A home equity loan from River Valley Credit Union lets you borrow against the value of your home — often at a lower rate than credit cards or personal loans.

What Is a Home Equity Loan?

When you own a home, you build equity — the difference between what your home is worth and what you still owe. A home equity loan lets you borrow a portion of that equity in a lump sum and pay it back over time with fixed monthly payments.

Why Use a Home Equity Loan?

  • Lower Interest Rates – Usually cheaper than credit cards or unsecured loans
  • Large Borrowing Power – Use your home’s value to fund major expenses
  • Fixed Payments – Predictable monthly payments that fit your budget
  • Flexible Use – Great for remodeling, college costs, medical bills, or debt payoff

Is It Right for You?

A home equity loan could be a smart option if you:

  • Own your home and have built up some equity
  • Need access to a larger amount of money
  • Want steady monthly payments at a fixed rate
