Line of Credit
A line of credit can serve a handy emergency fund or a way to pay for something that is out of your financial reach. Apply only once and when you need additional funds, you simply take an advance by check, phone or online. Unlike a typical loan, you make payments only on the credit you’ve actually used.
Personal Line of Credit
Tackling a large home improvement project or dealing with a potentially unpredictable expense? A Personal Line of Credit could be the perfect solution for you. Even though you make payments on the amount of credit you use, knowing that you can borrow the maximum amount may provide you with something priceless: peace of mind.
