Home Equity Lines of Credit

Harrington Bank’s Home Equity Line of Credit offers you convenient access to credit when you need it. The credit line is guaranteed for ten years based on the equity you have in your home. The revolving line of credit is structured to offer attractive market based rates for whatever you need to borrow. Access to your line is as easy as writing a check from your account up to the approved credit limit. You may borrow, repay, and re-borrow as often as you need. The interest you pay may be tax deductible (please consult your tax advisor). Whether you are taking a vacation, remodeling your home, paying for education, buying a car, or just having fun, a Harrington Bank Home Equity Line of Credit is an excellent resource.
