Home Equity Loans

Remodeling projects. A family vacation. College tuition. There are countless ways a CoVantage home equity loan can make your life a little (or a lot) better.

Cover life's major costs. Or splurge on some simple pleasures.

CoVantage Credit Union offers Home Equity Flex loans with a wide range of options to borrowers in Wisconsin, Michigan, and Illinois. You can use the funds for a special purchase or to cover practical expenses, like credit card debt or medical bills. With a CoVantage home equity loan, you get the benefits of a line of credit with the added security of locking in portions of the interest rate.

What is a Home Equity Flex loan?

  • A Home Equity Flex loan is a line of credit that allows you to lock in a portion of your loan.
  • Borrow up to 100% of the current appraised value of your home, less the balance on your first mortgage
  • No transaction charges, no prepayment penalties, and no hidden fees
  • The first mortgage doesn’t need to be from CoVantage
  • Transfer funds from your Home Equity Flex loan to your CoVantage checking using MyCoVantage Digital Banking and Mobile App
  • Our in-house loans are eligible for CoVantage's Loan Interest Rebate Program

How do you lock a segment?

To lock a portion of your Home Equity Flex loan, you can either log into MyCoVantage and send a Secure Message or contact your local branch to complete the request. Keep in mind that the interest rate for the locked segment may be higher than your current variable rate, which in turn, may affect your monthly minimum payment.

CoVantage will mail a packet with loan information to every borrower, so watch your mailbox! If you provided an email address at the dealership, you will also receive an email with that information approximately one week after the loan closed. Please note that the loan may not close until one to three days after you sign at the dealership.

You can use MyCoVantage digital banking and mobile app to set up automatic payments from your CoVantage checking or savings account OR from another financial institution (also called an External Transfer). Set-it-and-forget-it using the Transfer/Pay feature today!

To set up a transfer from another financial institution within MyCoVantage, navigate to the Transfer/Pay tab, then select Manage External. Before you can set up a one-time or recurring transfer, you will need to Add a New External Account and create an account nickname you can use to reference the account within digital banking.

Once added, you will need to verify the account by confirming two small amounts to the external account. Then log into MyCoVantage and go back to the Transfer/Pay tab, select Manage External and enter the trial deposit amounts that were sent to the external account. After completing this step, the external account will be ready to use within Transfers.

Please note: External Transfers are not immediate, they are processed in 1 to 3 business days from the date scheduled, provided they are scheduled by 4pm. For example, if you have a loan payment due on Friday, January 15, you will want to schedule the transfer at least 3 business days prior, Tuesday, January 12, to ensure the funds are received by that date.

Unfortunately, if your loan payment becomes 30 days past due, your status as a CoVantage “Member in Good Standing” is jeopardized, which could also affect any digital banking services.  In addition, late payments on loans and mortgages may result in a late fee or negative reporting to credit bureaus. To avoid late payments, set up automatic payments using MyCoVantage digital banking and mobile app.
