HELOCs
Home Equity Lines of Credit
A Home Equity Line of Credit(HELOC) is more than a home loan. It’s an easy, fast, and affordable way to take advantage of the equity you’ve built in your home for some of life’s largest expenses.

Why a HELOC?
You can use your HELOC as often as you like** and for whatever you like. Most commonly used for the “big things” like:
- Remodeling or renovating
- Paying for a family member’s college education
- Financing the purchase of a vacation home
- Consolidating high-interest debt
- Taking that much-deserved dream vacation
How does a Home Equity Line of Credit work?
The equity is calculated by using the appraised value as stated by a valuation model or appraisal. The difference between the appraised value and any outstanding mortgages equals your total equity. Once your HELOC is established, you can easily transfer available funds to your CPM checking or other designated account using our mobile and online banking. The transferred funds are available immediately. There is no need for separate checks or a separate debit card to access your HELOC funds. You can also transfer just as easily in the other direction when you want to pay down your HELOC. Simple banking!
If you do not have online banking, you can request checks or request a withdrawal at any CPM location.
