Consolidate Debt and save money with low HELOC rates
These days you can get a home equity line of credit (HELOC) with a rate under 5.00%. HELOC’s are usually tied to the prime rate which is currently 3.25%.
Most banks will offer a HELOC rate with plus or minus 1.00% of the prime rate depending on your credit score. Though with rates at historic lows you will be hard press to find a bank offering prime minus 1.00% these days. We were recently quoted a HELOC rate of 4.25% from Citibank for a loan modification.
Getting a HELOC at 4.25% to payoff credit card debt at a lot higher interest rate makes financial sense. Especially if the credit card rate you are paying is in the double digits or higher, which we all know is actually the norm.
Though with a HELOC, rates are flexible since the rate is tied to the prime rate, so you run the risk of rates increasing. Most HELOC’s have a rate hike limit per year and for the lifetime of the HELOC.
You can use our HELOC/home equity line of credit calculator to see if consolidating your credit card, auto and other loans will save you money.

When I thought I knew everything I had to know about interest rates, loans and banks, new concepts appear and surprize me. Keeping in touch with them may determine your financial failure or success.
So thanks for the useful information, and keep up with what you do.
These interest rates are helpful, especially for entrepreneurs, who just started up a business and need help to handle their finances.
Hi,
My name is Lyda. I found your site and the selection of resources very interesting.
I have a few finance related websites that contains information on credit, mortgage, insurance, pay-day loans, real estate, debts and just about anything on Finance (you name it…), which would be much useful information for your readers. There’s are a fine set of articles that reveal all pros and cons of credit cards, give tips how to reduce credit card debt and establish good credit, and similarly the same for all the other financial topics.
If it agrees with your policy, I would like to place some links at your site.
Please let me know if you are interested so that we may proceed with the deal.
Thank you for your time,
Regards,
Lyda.
