Home equity loan products offered
Quorum Federal Credit Union offers variable-rate HELOCs on both primary residences and investment properties. The differences between the two include the minimum APR, the amount you can borrow and the repayment schedule. The rate cap is 18 percent on both options.
For the interest-only RealtyLine (primary homes), you can borrow up to 80 percent of your equity, with a line limit of $250,000. This HELOC also has a 10-year interest-only draw period followed by a 20-year principal and interest repayment schedule.
Types of fees charged
Quorum Federal Credit Union charges a $495 origination fee and a $100 processing fee on HELOCs, but there are no application fees, annual fees or early termination fees. You’ll also incur charges for an appraisal, credit report pull, document prep services and late payments, among other costs.
The HELOCs also come with relationship discounts, however. If you have a Quorum checking account and maintain a monthly balance of $5,000, you get a 0.25 percent rate discount. If you have a Quorum CD with at least $50,000 in it, you can get an additional 0.5 percent rate discount. For both discounts, you must meet the requirements when you originate your HELOC and for the life of your loan.
