HOME EQUITY LINE OF CREDIT
Utilize Your Home's Value
You've worked hard to build equity in your home. And if you're looking to make the most of this resource, America First has a product to fit your needs.
Maximize your hard-earned value!
For a limited time, you can save even more with an exclusive .25% APR** discount on a low-rate home equity line of credit.
Our home equity lines of credit — or HELOCs — are open-end loans based on the value of your residence minus your mortgage balance. Eligible members can use these funds for substantial home improvements, large expenses and other needs.
We offer standard options that let you draw from up to 80% of your home's equity, whereas our ideal line allows you to borrow up to 100% of the value.
Other America First HELOC benefits:
- Low monthly payments
- Competitive rates
- Interest paid may be tax-deductible*
- Free online financial calculators
For the lowest possible monthly payment, our Interest-Only Home Equity Line of Credit gives you control. Apply today for an interest-only home equity line of credit and use the equity you've built up in your own home to fund that next major expense.
Ideal for members with at least 20% equity in their home looking for increased short term cash flow. We offer low variable rates with interest-only payments for the first 5 years for greater convenience. Ask one of our representatives about getting started

Ideal for members with at least 20% equity in their home who prefer rates staying fixed throughout their loans' terms. This unique, no-closing-costs line starts with a low rate based on Prime.
