A HELOC gives you access to a revolving line of credit with the flexibility to meet needs as they arise. It involves two phases: (1) a draw period, during which you can borrow, repay, and borrow again; and (2) a repayment period, during which you can’t borrow anymore, and you must start repaying the principal plus interest.

Conversion to a Fixed Rate, Fixed Term – Conversion to fixed term options is available 90 days after closing. Prior to the Repayment Period, you may elect from time to time (but in no event more than two separate times) to convert all or part of the outstanding principal balance of your Equity Line to a fixed rate utilizing our “Fixed Rate, Fixed Term Option”. You may do so by delivering to us our Conversion Election Form signed by you in which you set forth the dollar amount of the converted portion, which in no event may be less than Ten Thousand Dollars ($10,000), the number of months between 60 – 240, in which you wish to repay the Converted Portion on a direct amortization basis and your election to convert all or a portion of your outstanding balance to a Converted Portion. Each “Fixed Rate, Fixed Term” would be evidenced by a separate “Fixed Rate, Fixed Term Option” Addendum, and your credit limit would be reduced by the original principal amount of each “Fixed Rate, Fixed Term Option”. Any principal repaid on the Installment Loans will increase the available credit for future advances. The maturity date of the “Fixed Rate, Fixed Term” would be established as of the date the “Fixed Rate, Fixed Term Option” Addendum is signed evidencing such change, provided however, that in no event shall the maturity date of the Addendum exceed the Maturity Date of the Mortgage. The Fixed interest rate will be based on the current rates for Reading Cooperative Bank’s Fixed Rate Home Equity Loan product at the time the Conversion Election Option is executed. Please ask about our current rates. The availability of this Conversion Option will terminate at the end of the Draw Period. Each “Fixed Rate, Fixed Term Option” Addendum will be secured by, and be subject to, the terms and conditions of the existing home Equity Line of Credit Agreement and Disclosure Statement.

Minimum Payment Requirements – You can obtain advances of credit for 10 years (the “draw period”). During the draw period, payments will be due monthly. Your minimum monthly payment will equal all accrued interest as of the closing date of the billing cycle, plus any amounts past due.

Interest Only Payments – Your minimum monthly payment during the draw period will not reduce the amount of principal outstanding on this line of credit.

After the draw period ends, you will no longer be able to obtain credit advances and must pay the outstanding balance over 15 years (the “repayment period”). During the repayment period, payments will be due monthly. Your minimum monthly payment will equal 1/180th of the principal balance that was outstanding at the end of the draw period plus the interest that has accrued on the remaining balance. During the repayment period the annual percentage rate will continue to adjust monthly.
