Home Equity Lending
Make Your Home's Equity Work for You
Texans are resourceful, which is why we provide three products* to help you use the equity in your home to work for your needs.
- Use equity to pay off an existing, higher-rate mortgage, consolidate other debt, or pay for home improvement, education expenses, or even a vacation
Keep in mind that the equity in your home is calculated on the current fair market value of your home, not the purchase price. Be sure to check the estimated value of your home before determining your equity amount.
