How do I get a HELOC?

How does the HELOC application process work?

Unlock the equity in your NEPA nest egg and make those Lehigh Valley dreams a reality with a Home Equity Line of Credit (HELOC) from Fidelity!

First: Gather your documentation:

Employment and income history: Current and former employment information.
Other Income sources: Add any additional sources of income that you would like to be considered for your loan, such as military pay, social security, etc.
Real estate information: Assets to be considered in the loan process.
Financial accounts: Investment assets, bank, retirement, or other financial accounts you have.
Gifts & grants: Gifts and grants come from family members, friends, state agencies, or nonprofits and are essentially money to put towards your down payment.
Other assets: Other assets that you would like to be considered for your loan, such as proceeds from a real estate sale, secured borrowed funds, etc.
Liabilities: Your liabilities or debts are things you pay monthly and are usually a set amount like child support or alimony. No need to add credit card debts, student loans or car payments. We’ll add those when we pull your credit.

Apply online: Your secure application takes just 15 minutes, with no obligation and no cost.
Appraisal Processing: Your Fidelity banker schedules an appraisal of your existing property to determine its value.
