Two smart ways to access your Austin home’s equity — each with distinct advantages depending on your goals.

- Reuse credit as you pay it down
Home Equity Loan
A second mortgage with a fixed rate and term. Receive your funds in one lump sum with predictable monthly payments.
- One-time lump sum disbursement
- Fixed interest rate for life of loan
- Predictable monthly payments
- Know exact payoff date from day one
