What is a Home Equity Line of Credit?
A home equity line of credit (HELOC) is a loan that allows you to borrow, spend, and repay as you go, against the equity in your home. Borrowers can use HELOC funds for a variety of purposes, including home improvements, major purchases, taking a dream vacation and the consolidation of high-interest credit card debt*.
*The benefits of a HELOC for debt consolidation depend on your individual circumstances. Because a HELOC may have a longer term than some of the debt you may be consolidating, you may not realize a savings over the entire term of your new HELOC. Consolidating federal loans may eliminate important protections and benefits.

What is an Adjustable-Rate Mortgage?
An adjustable-rate mortgage, or ARM, is a mortgage loan with an interest rate that changes during the life of the loan according to movements in an index rate. Sometimes called AMLs (adjustable mortgage loans) or VRMs (variable-rate mortgages).
With an adjustable-rate mortgage (ARM) you can typically enjoy a lower rate and monthly payment during the initial rate period compared to fixed-rate loans. After the initial fixed rate period, your rate and payment could increase. See the program disclosure for details on how and when the rate could increase.
