Rates and terms are subject to change without notice. All offers of credit are subject to standard credit approval requirements; applicants may be offered lines at higher rates or different terms depending on approved creditworthiness, FICO score profiles, debt-to-income (DTI) metrics, and underlying collateral evaluation.

ALL PROMOTIONAL RATES
The introductory promotional APR is discounted, is not based on the index and margin used for later adjustments, and is fixed for the initial one-year (twelve-month) period. Municipal Credit Union Home Equity Lines of Credit feature a draw period of up to 10 years with interest-only payment options. Following the conclusion of the 10-year draw period, the outstanding balance enters a 20-year repayment lifecycle requiring fully amortized principal and interest installments.
After the initial 12-month fixed introductory period expires, your standard APR converts to a variable rate calculated by combining The Wall Street Journal Prime Rate index with your qualified margin tier. The annual percentage rate may vary and is equal to the highest Prime Rate published in the Wall Street Journal on or before the last day of the preceding monthly billing period plus a margin between 0% and 4% based on creditworthiness. Following conversion, a HELOC line carries an absolute lifetime floor minimum APR of 3.00%, and the maximum lifetime variable APR that may be imposed is capped at 6.00% above your initial interest rate at closing up to a maximum ceiling of 18.00%.
The Prime Rate is 7.00%.
Covered closing costs will be paid on behalf of the borrower by MCU at account initiation, provided that at closing you take a minimum initial advance of $25,000 and keep your line of credit open for at least 36 months (three years). If the HELOC account is voluntarily closed and satisfied within the first 36 months, you will be required to reimburse MCU for certain fees paid to third parties. Paid closing costs subject to this 36-month recapture provision include the initial property valuation source fee, title property report, municipal lien search, credit report fee, and flood zone tracking certification. These third-party fees generally range between $135.00 and $10,500.00 depending on the line volume, localized property values, and real estate types.
For qualifying standard promotions, borrowers retain the custom option to have the mandatory local mortgage recording fees and state mortgage transfer taxes paid directly by MCU at closing in exchange for an additional 0.500% rate premium added directly to their introductory promotional rate and subsequent fully indexed variable rate for the lifetime term of the line. These tax and recording expenses remain subject to the 36-month early satisfaction repayment recapture provision.
HELOCs are secured by a junior or senior mortgage on your primary residence. Primary residential properties must consist of eligible single-family or multi-family homes; co-ops, condominiums, and non-owner-occupied investment properties are not accepted. Valid property hazard insurance is strictly required at all times. Supplemental flood insurance coverage will be mandated if the property is determined to sit within a designated Special Flood Hazard Area (SFHA). Combined Loan-to-Value (CLTV) thresholds apply.
Membership is open to anyone who lives, works, worships, or attends school in New York City (NYC), and family members or household members of existing MCU members. A primary share account is required to establish membership. Primary share accounts are the Hero Savings Account, the Smart Apple, and the Youth Savings Account. Membership eligibility is subject to verification. Certain restrictions may apply.
