HELOC Special FAQ
The Unity Bank HELOC offers a special 5.99% APR* for the first 18 months, which will then adjust to a variable rate (prime rate) for the remaining 42 months of the draw period. At the end of the draw period, interest becomes fixed at the prime rate for the 10-year repayment period.
