Lower Rate Than Other Lending Options
While a Home Equity has a variable interest rate structure, WesBanco’s HELOC provides the option to convert a portion of the outstanding balance into a non-revolving loan with a fixed-rate and term called a Partition.
The available credit limit of the Master Line of Credit will be reduced by the amount of the Partition. The Master credit limit will be replenished as principal payments are made to the Partition. The Master Line of Credit must be in good standing at the time a Partition is requested. The account may not be delinquent. There may not be any withdrawal locks or other holds on the Master Line. A Partition Modification Fee will be assessed on the first billing statement and will be added to the Master Line of Credit loan balance. This fee will be waived for “new” Master Line of Credit Accounts in which a Partition is established at the time the new loan disburses.

The loan amount available to you is based on the equity built up in your home and is often distributed in a draw period (where you can borrow and repay as needed). At the end of the draw period you begin to make amortized payments of principal and interest on the balance of your loan.

Most HELOCs are revolving credit lines during the draw period, which means you can repay the line and borrow from it again. For example, if you borrow $5,000 for home repairs and pay that back within the draw period, it becomes available to borrow again.
