¹Program rates, terms, and conditions are effective as of July 21, 2020, and are subject to change without notice. All loans are subject to credit approval and collateral review. Property insurance required. Rates may vary based on credit qualifications. Home Equity Line of Credit is a revolving line of credit offered to qualified borrowers. You can obtain advances of credit for 5 or 10 year(s) (“the draw period”). Not a guarantee of credit. ²Annual percentage rate (APR) of the variable rate program HELOC is variable, based on the Prime Rate as published in THE WALL STREET JOURNAL, plus a margin; however, the maximum the APR can increase is 6% above the initial non-promotional rate, if applicable. For example, if you opened a HELOC with a 700 credit score at 4% APR, the highest the rate could increase to during the life of the loan would be 10% APR. The rate is subject to increase and decrease. The variable rate line is subject to a minimum rate of 3.50% APR. As of August 31, 2020, fixed rate as low as 4.50% and variable rate as low as 3.75% based on credit score. ³Interest on outstanding balances prior to September 1, 2020, will continue to accrue at the regular rate of either Prime or Prime plus a margin, if applicable. Loan Payment information: When you make a payment, any principal payment will apply first to the promotional balance and then to any previously outstanding balance through December 31, 2021. Effective January 1, 2022, the rate on any remaining promotional balance outstanding will go back to the regular rate disclosed in member’s HELOC open-end credit plan. ⁴The credit union will pay for the standard closing costs of a property valuation, flood determination, junior loan title policy, and recording of the mortgage. These fees generally total between $250 and $900. The borrower(s) is responsible for any non-standard charges, such as regular lender’s title, deed preparation and/or deed recording fees, if applicable. If the HELOC is paid in full and closed within 24-months of opening, you must reimburse the amount paid, in closing costs, by the credit union. Property insurance is required until the sum owed is paid in full and the line is closed. If the property is located within a flood zone, flood insurance will be required.

Celebrating Credit Union Day With Food Drive Kickoff
Each year Interra joins more than 57,000 credit unions in 105 countries worldwide to celebrate International Credit Union Day (ICU Day) to raise awareness about the credit union movement and participate in service initiatives as part of the People Helping People philosophy.
October 15th is ICU Day and this year’s theme, “Inspiring hope for a global community,” reflects how credit unions contribute to a brighter future by providing financial empowerment to people all over the world through financial services, education and support. This year’s global health crisis has been trying for many communities around the world. This theme speaks to how credit unions have stayed true to their cooperative principles and stepped up during this time of economic uncertainty. Hope is a global resource that everyone has a right to feel and experience.
To celebrate ICU Day, Interra’s annual Fall Food Drive kicks off on Thursday, October 15th, and continues through Saturday, October 31st. Every branch will be accepting donations. Please be as generous as you can to help others who need the very basic of life’s necessities.¹
