* Annual Percentage Rate
1HOME EQUITY LINE OF CREDIT (“HELOC”): Annual Percentage Rate (APR) as low as 2.25% fixed for 2 years, from the date your new home equity line of credit (HELOC) account is opened (initial fixed-rate term). After the initial fixed-rate term, the interest rate may vary on a quarterly basis on the statement cycle date of February, May, August, and November. The APR will equal the index, which is the weekly average yield on US Treasury Security adjusted to a constant maturity of one year, plus a margin of 2.50%, rounded up to the nearest 0.25%. The current index is 0.16% as of 9/1/2020. The current non-discounted fully indexed variable APR as of 9/1/2020 is 4.00%. The rate cannot increase or decrease more than 1.00% at each quarterly rate adjustment but may exceed that for the single adjustment at the end of a promotional discounted rate period. In no event will the APR be less than 4.25%, the floor rate, nor higher than 18.00% or the maximum permitted by law, whichever is less.
