Home Equity Line of Credit features variable rates based on the Prime Rate published each day in The Wall Street Journal Money Rates Table (the "Index"), plus a margin. The APR can change monthly, but will not vary above 18% APR, or below 3.99% APR for 1-4 family owner-occupied/second homes. For non-owner occupied 1-4 family homes the APR will not go below 5.99%. The index as of the last date changed on 9/19/2024 is 8.00%. As of 9/19/2024, the variable rate for home equity credit lines of $20,000-$250,000, with a combined-loan-to-value ratio (CLTV) up to 75% range from 8.50% APR to 8.75% APR on an owner-occupied 1-4 family residence and from 11.25% APR to 11.50% APR on non-owner occupied 1-4 family homes.

No Closing Cost Loans are subject to terms and conditions of Fremont Bank's Application Fee Agreement, which lists the specific costs and fees the borrower will not pay. An Application Fee may be required after a loan application is submitted, which will be refunded as a credit on your closing statement. Borrower is responsible for paying all fees and charges imposed by brokers or an existing third party lender (for example, payoff demand statement fee and/or a reconveyance fee) as well as any prepayment penalty imposed by any third party lender or Fremont Bank. Loans with lower nominal interest rates may be available to borrowers willing to pay points and fees. A $95 Set-Up Charge is due at account opening. You may also be required to pay certain fees to open this credit line. These fees generally total between $0 and $900. The $75 Annual Fee is waived for the first three years. After the third (3rd) year, during the Draw Period, you will be required to pay an Annual Fee of $75.00 for each year the account is open, whether it is used or not. As long as the account is open, you will be billed for the Annual Fee for each succeeding year on the monthly billing statement prepared in the same month as the monthly your account was opened. The Annual Fee will not be refunded in whole or in part and will be owed to the bank once it is posted to your account, even if the account is subsequently changed, frozen, closed or terminated for any reason. If you terminate your HELOC account within 36 months of opening it, you will be required to pay an early closure fee of $500 plus any reconveyance and recording fees Fremont Bank paid on your behalf.
