Home Equity Loan

Need cash for life’s little surprises? Get it fast.

When you need extra money, a home equity loan from MECU could be your best solution. Whether it’s an emergency home repair, home improvement, college tuition or a special purchase, you can leverage the equity in your home to provide the funds you need.

A home equity loan is secured by the equity in your home, and often offers tax-deductible benefits (be sure to consult your tax advisor for details).

Qualified members can borrow up to 90% of the current appraised value of their home less any outstanding liens. In Texas, the limit is 80% of the appraised value less any outstanding liens.

MECU offers a very attractive fixed rate, along with the flexibility of choosing a term that best fits your needs. Our home equity loan features:
