Prime Time for an Equity Line

You can borrow up to 80% of your home’s value with a maximum credit line of $200,000. Other benefits of an HUECU Home Equity Line of Credit include:

1ST

MGH Employees Start Boston Marathon Fund A group of MGH Blake nurses were among the many health care professionals who provided care for victims of last year’s Boston Marathon bombing.

Borrowing with a Home Equity Line offers two key advantages:

1) The interest rate will be lower – usually much lower-than what you’d pay on a credit card or personal loan.

2) The interest you pay is usually tax deductible, which further reduces the cost of borrowing.

Drawing from your Home Equity Line of Credit is easy. You can transfer the funds directly to your HUECU checking account using Online Banking or the HUECU Mobile App. You can also call the Contact Center or visit an HUECU branch to have a Credit Union representative complete your request. Visit huecu.org to learn more about what an HUECU Home Equity Line of Credit can do for you or to apply online. If you would like to speak to one of our loan experts, feel free to call us at (617) 495.4460 or visit an HUECU branch. To take advantage of the 1.99% APR introductory rate, applications must be received by June 30, 2014.

The bravery and tenacity of the victims and their families inspired these nurses to get involved. The nurses on “Team Blake” will run in this year’s marathon to raise money for a victim relief fund. HUECU was contacted to set up an account for the fund and was happy to support their efforts with a donation. The check was presented by MGH Branch Manager, Paul Conners, CEO and President Gene Foley, and Director Guillermo Banchiere. We wish you all the best of luck Team Blake!

Not a bank. A benefit.
