Thank you for your interest in NJL&PS Credit Union’s Home Equity Program. The following is a brief description of our requirements:

We are offering this Line of Credit at the present time with absolutely NO POINTS and NO FEES to all NEW applicants. Please note that anyone with a present Home Equity that wishes to apply for a Line of Credit will be assessed at $250.00 fee to cover our costs, unless the loan is $15,000.00 greater than your current balance. This fee must be assessed to cover a current appraisal, title search, and county clerk filing fee. If the loan is cancelled there is a fee of $100.00 plus appraisal.

The Annual Percentage Rate (APR) will be established on the last business day of the calendar quarter (March 31, June 30, September 30, and December 31), based on the Prime rate as published in the Money &  Investing section of the Wall Street Journal. All Home Equity accounts shall be notified of the change prior to their required payment date, excluding any specials.

The term of repayment is fifteen (15) years, and the draw on your credit is limited to five (5) year, after which you are free to refinance your Home Equity Line of Credit. We advise you to check with your tax preparer to verify tax deductibility.

There is a $200,000.00 ceiling on the amount of individual funds disbursed. The amount of the initial draw at the time of closing must be in excess of $10,000.00. The basis for determining your allowable equity is eighty (80%) percent of the appraised market value of your home, less any outstanding mortgage on your home. One hundred percent (100%) financing is available for qualified members. We are only appraising primary principle residences in the State of New Jersey and Bucks County, Pennsylvania at the present time.
