Your home is more than a place to live; it’s one of your greatest financial assets. With a Home Equity Line of Credit (HELOC) from Great Oaks Bank, you can put that equity to work when you need it most. Whether you’re planning a major renovation, consolidating debt, covering education expenses, or preparing for life’s unexpected moments, a HELOC offers flexibility, convenience, and competitive rates backed by local service you can trust.
What Is a HELOC?
A Home Equity Line of Credit allows you to borrow against the equity you’ve built in your home. Unlike a traditional loan, a HELOC functions like a revolving line of credit: draw funds as needed, repay, and use it again—much like a credit card, but with significantly lower interest rates.
With Great Oaks Bank, you get:
- Competitive variable rates
- Fast, local decision-making
- Flexible access to funds
- Personalized guidance from experienced lenders
- Support from a community bank that knows your market and your goals
Ways a HELOC Can Work for You
1. Home Improvements: Dreaming of a new kitchen? Need a roof replacement? A HELOC can help you complete projects that increase your home’s comfort and value.
2. Debt Consolidation: Combine high-interest balances into one lower-rate line of credit—saving money and simplifying your monthly payments.
3. Education Expenses: Pay for tuition, supplies, or other educational costs without relying on higher-interest loans.
4. Emergency Fund: Life happens. A HELOC provides a financial cushion that’s available whenever you need it.

What Our Customers Are Saying
“My wife and I were looking for a way to consolidate some debt and make a few improvements to our home. Melissa at Great Oaks Bank recommended a Home Equity Line of Credit (HELOC), which not only provided the funds we needed but also lowered the interest rate on our existing debt. With its flexible monthly payment options—allowing us to pay as little as the interest or more toward the principal depending on our circumstances—the HELOC turned out to be the perfect solution. In today’s busy world, where it’s easy to feel like just another account number, it’s refreshing to find a bank that knows who you are and is always ready to help. We couldn’t be happier—or more satisfied—than we are with Great Oaks Bank.”

“We used our HELOC to expand our kitchen. Applying was simple. My relationship banker, Carla, really helped me out, and we were able to get it done quickly. I always recommend Great Oaks because of the great relationship I have with everyone who works here. If you need a great local bank, look no further.”
— Great Oaks Bank Customer, Eastman
“What really stood out about the HELOC process, though, was how helpful, friendly, and accommodating everyone at the bank was. Great Oaks Bank feels like the kind of local, community bank I remember from my childhood. You walk in, people greet you by name, and you truly feel like part of something.”
