Home Equity Loan or Line of Credit

Whether you're planning a dream vacation, updating your floors or paying for school, you'll need a source to fund that goal. Your home equity could be the solution for any projects you have in mind.

How Can You Use Your Equity to Fund Your Needs?

Equity is the difference between your home's current value and your mortgage balance. You can use this value to finance various home improvement projects or fund substantial purchases. At Stock Yards Bank, we offer two options to help you use the money you've invested into your home:

  • Home Equity Loan: A home equity loan allows homeowners to borrow money against their equity. As the borrower, you receive the money in one lump sum and repay it in monthly installments. They typically come with fixed interest rates and payments, creating a predictable schedule for homeowners, which you can determine using our online finance calculators.
  • Home Equity Line of Credit (HELOC): A home equity line of credit acts similarly to a credit card, offering a continual line of credit to use as you wish. These funds are accessible through various methods, including online transfer, checks or a physical card — commonly available for 10 years. You pay variable interest on only the funds you use, and once you've repaid the credit, your funds become usable again, making them ideal for emergencies.
