Questions About Home Equity Loans and HELOCs
- Main
-
Please note: Discover Home Loans offers a home equity loan product, but does not offer HELOCs.
A home equity line of credit (HELOC) is a type of credit account that lets you borrow money against the value of your home. Because the money you borrow is a secured debt that uses your home as collateral, you can typically obtain a lower interest rate on a HELOC or other home equity loan than you could get for other types of consumer loans.
- Main
-
There are many differences between a home equity loan vs HELOC. For example, a home equity loan comes with fixed rates and a lump sum of cash while a HELOC comes with variable rates and a line of credit. Regardless of which you choose, both a home equity loan and HELOC can help finance major projects like home renovations.
Discover offers home equity loan and mortgage refinance products but does not offer HELOCs.

The actual length of time it takes to get a home equity loan varies by homeowner and lender.

A fixed interest rate on your home equity loan means you will make stable and predictable interest payments towards your loan balance for the life of the loan.

Mortgage providers will base the home equity loan options you receive on your available equity, income, debt, and credit history. Compare the loan amounts, rates, terms, and fees of these options to make an informed decision.
Discover Home Loans has resources and calculators to help you determine what works best for you.
You can calculate the amount of equity you have in your home and how much you can borrow using our loan amount calculator. Then try our monthly payment calculator to see what your monthly payment could be.
It’s also a good idea to use our debt consolidation calculator to see how much you could save each month by consolidating debts with your loan.
- Main
-
With Discover, you will not have to pay any application fees, origination fees, or appraisal fees. Since a home equity loan is a secured debt that uses your home as collateral, the average interest rate is typically lower than what you'll pay on an average credit card or other form of unsecured debt.
