*Home Equity Loans and Lines are secured by a mortgage on your primary residence. A Home Equity Line of Credit has a balloon payment of principal balance plus unpaid interest due at maturity. All loans are subject to satisfactory appraisal, title, insurance and South Central Bank's internal credit policies. Rates subject to change without notice and may be higher than the rate currently offered. The term "low closing costs" does not include title insurance (when required), appraisal fees, or annual fees on variable rate lines of credit. The amount of the loan you qualify for depends on your annual gross income and the lendable equity in your home less any debt secured by your home. The purpose of a loan may be restricted by law and South Central Bank policy. Minimum draw per advance is $500. A prepayment penalty may apply. Property and flood insurance may be required and other restrictions may apply.
**The Annual Percentage Rate (APR) on variable rate home equity lines is determined by adding or subtracting a margin to an index. The APR on variable rate lines may increase or decrease and may not exceed 14%. The APR is indexed to the Prime Rate as published in the Money Rates section of the Wall Street Journal. Terms of programs, including margins, may change at any time and without notice. If a fully indexed rate is Prime + 1.75%, Prime is the index and 1.75% is the margin. If Prime Rate is 5.00%, the fully indexed rate is 6.75%. The annual fee, which is waived the first year, is $45. Click here for the current Prime Rate.
