Home Equity Line of Credit LOCK Program 

Members can lock in a portion of their outstanding balance on their HELOC for a LOCK Fee of 1% loan balance. This balance will be transferred to a new loan account with a payment based on the maturity of the “parent” HELOC. This amount will be deducted from the available credit limit of the “parent” HELOC. The remaining credit limit can’t be increased unless the HELOC is refinanced.

The minimum balance to LOCK is $10,000. Members may have multiple LOCK sub-accounts up to the maximum credit limit of the “parent” HELOC. Subaccounts can’t be combined unless “parent” HELOC is refinanced.

LOCK rates will be based on the current program rate, not promotional rate.
