Home equity lines of credit allow you to borrow as needed for occasional expenses, such as tuition payments or emergency money in a pinch. And with multiple draw options—with a check, online, over the phone, or at a branch—they offer convenience as well as peace of mind.
Home equity loans offer a lump-sum amount that's repaid at a fixed monthly rate. They're an ideal way to help consolidate debt or make home improvements.

1Desert Community Bank Home Equity Line of Credit (HELOC) is a variable rate, revolving line of credit secured by primary residence; specifically, 1- to 4-unit residential homes and modular homes. The annual percentage rate (APR) is based on the Wall Street Journal prime rate (index) as of 7/7/2022, plus a margin. HELOC loan amounts can vary between $10,000 and $1 million with a combined loan-to-value (CLTV) ratio of 80% or lower. Effective 7/7/2022, the current variable APR will range from 5.74% to 21.00%. It will not exceed 21.00% APR. APR reflects a 0.50% 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. Borrower is responsible for paying required government taxes and fees at closing. During the 10-year draw period, for the (a) interest-only payment terms, the minimum payment for each billing cycle will equal the greater of $100 or the finance charges that have accrued for that billing cycle or for the (b) principal and interest payment terms, the minimum payment for each billing cycle will equal the greater of $100 or the amount sufficient to repay the account balance in full by the maturity date in substantially equal payments plus the finance charges that accrued for that billing cycle, and other fees, charges, and costs. During the repayment period, the minimum payment for each billing cycle will equal the greater of $100 or the amount sufficient to repay the account balance in full by the maturity date in substantially equal payments plus the finance charges that accrued for that billing cycle and other fees, charges, and costs. The borrower is responsible for separate payments of property taxes and insurance. Property insurance is required; if the collateral is determined to be in an area having special flood hazards, flood insurance will be required as well. The borrower must have verifiable income.
