Establishing a Sovereign Flexlock® Line of Credit gives you access to funds for needed home improvements, debt consolidation, financing an education, or just having money on reserve for emergencies.

THE SMART AND FLEXIBLE WAY TO BORROW IN 2011. With a Sovereign Home Equity Line of Credit, you'll have access to the money you need, when you need it. You'll also have the option to lock in all or part of your credit line balance at a fixed rate, with a monthly payment of principal and interest.

Using the equity in your home gives you features you don't always get with credit cards, such as no balance transfer fees and larger lines of credit. In addition, you'll only pay interest on the amount of money you actually use and the interest you pay may be tax deductible.

 
Additional Benefits/Features
  • No application fee
  • No closing costs
  • Interest Only payment option
  • No appraisal fees
  • Fixed rate lock option
Minimum monthly payment may vary each month based on the unpaid balance and the Prime Rate. Although a principal payment is not required during the draw period, it is recommended in order to reduce the balance owed.
