Home Equity Loans

If you currently own a home, you can use the equity to pay for other things. A home equity loan or home equity line of credit from GenFed makes it easy to access the value in your home.

You don’t have to have your current mortgage with us to take advantage of our great home equity options!

To figure out approximately how much equity you have, subtract any outstanding mortgage balance(s) from your home’s appraised value.

Home Equity Loan

A home equity loan (sometimes called a second mortgage) lets you borrow a set amount of money at a fixed rate for a specific period of time.

You can use the money for just about any purpose: making home improvements, buying a vehicle, consolidating your debt, paying for college, and more! The interest may be tax-deductible.

Remote Loan Payments

GenFed's remote loan payment service gives you the ability to schedule a payment from a checking account at another financial institution.  You can even schedule alerts and reminders to let your know your payment has been made. 

GenFed has also partnered with PayNearMe to accept cash deposits and loan payments at a number of community merchants for same day processing to your GenFed account or loan.
