Effective June 1, 2020, the current variable APR will range from 3.99% to 21.00%. It will not exceed 21.00% APR. APR reflects a .50% interest rate discount that is available for HELOCs with monthly automatic payments (ACH) established and elected at the time of application to be paid from a borrower’s Desert Community Bank Deposit Account. Actual APR will be based on the variable rate index value in effect at the time of account opening, plus a margin determined by the borrower's credit qualifications, the amount of the line of credit, lien position, CLTV ratio, type of property, and other factors. APR remains variable for the life of the loan. Annual fee is $75 per year and is waived the first year. The HELOC must remain open for at least 36 months to avoid payment of closing fees, including, but not limited to, title, appraisal, notary, and recording fees.
