Best for no closing costs
Our take on FourLeaf Federal Credit Union
Fourleaf's HELOC features no origination or annual fee and solid customer support, but be prepared for a slower closing.
Best for fast closing
Our take on Figure
Online lender Figure is one of the top HELOC lenders in the nation by loan volume. The main appeal is its fast closing, but you’ll need to draw 100% of the line amount at closing and only have five years to keep borrowing.
Best for fixed-rate borrowers
Our take on Rate
Rate's HELOC has browsable rates and relatively fast closing, but note required initial withdrawal and shorter-than-usual draw period.
Best for North Carolina borrowers
Our take on State Employees' Credit Union
NC SECU's HELOC delivers low fees and a high borrowing limit, but closing may be slower. Credit union membership is limited.
Best for fixed-rate borrowers
Our take on U.S. Bank
U.S. Bank's HELOC has no origination fee and no initial draw requirement. However, the lender charges a $75 annual fee (waived for those with a U.S. Bank Platinum checking account).
Best for military members and their families
Our take on Navy Federal
Navy Federal Credit Union, a top HELOC lender by loan volume, stands out for its high borrowing limit and long draw period of 20 years. Credit union membership is limited.
Best for high borrowing limit
Our take on TD Bank
TD Bank is a major HELOC lender, featuring a high borrowing limit and the option to fix your rate. Borrowers with a TD Bank checking account can get a rate discount.
Best for fast closing
Our take on PenFed
PenFed’s HELOC is a solid choice for borrowers who want a standard HELOC. This easy-to-join credit union offers a relatively fast closing, but charges an annual fee of $99.
Best for fixed-rate borrowers
Our take on Truist
Truist, one of the largest HELOC lenders in the country, offers an interest rate below prime for the first nine months, and borrowers can get a rate discount. However, you won’t find customized rates online.
Best for high borrowing limit
Our take on PNC Bank
PNC, a large HELOC lender, offers an intro rate below prime for the first six months, a wide range of repayment terms and no initial draw requirements. However, there is an annual fee of $50.
Best for no closing costs
Our take on Bank of America
Bank of America's HELOC features no annual fee as well as options for a rate discount and fixed rate, but time to close may be opaque.
Best for California borrowers
Our take on Golden 1 Credit Union
Golden 1's HELOC delivers low fees and a fixed-rate option to California members, though time to close is not clear.
Best for fast closing
Our take on Citizens Bank
Citizens Bank is one of the largest HELOC lenders in the country by volume. You’ll find fast closing, and bank customers can get a rate discount but may miss a long repayment window.
