Details Variable rates based on the 10 YWCMT plus a margin of 3.00% (rounded to the nearest 0.25%). The YWCMT is an index published by the Federal Reserve Board based on the average yield of a range of Treasury securities, all adjusted to the equivalent of a 10-year maturity. The APR can change quarterly, but will not vary above 18% APR, or below 4.99% APR for 1-4 family owner-occupied/primary residence. The APR will adjust on the 1st business day of the billing cycle. The APR as of the last date changed on 04/01/2026. Home equity credit lines of $10,000-$200,000, with a combined-loan-to-value ratio (CLTV) up to 70%, a minimum initial draw of $1,000 taken on HELOC account opening. No Annual Fee. Fees generally total between $1,500 and $3,500. Choosing a minimum interest-only monthly payments will not repay the principal that is outstanding on your line. Your monthly payment may increase, possibly substantially, once your credit line transitions into the repayment period. Consult your tax advisor regarding the deductibility of interest and charges.

How to read this chart: the two lines move in opposite directions by design. The Texas Ratio (blue) measures trouble, so a rising blue line means more non-performing assets against capital. The Star Rating (green) and Health Grade chips measure strength, so they fall when the Texas Ratio climbs and recover when it drops.
