I recently refinanced my home with First US Community Credit Union. It was my first time and I was overwhelmed. Chris Tatton was my loan officer and I was very impressed and surprised at how easy he made everything. He kept me up to date and was very professional, efficient and easy to do business with. Chris is friendly, a good listener, and has responded to calls and emails promptly. What started as a difficult venture, turned out to be very easy and quickly done. - Rebecca S.

Equity/Home Improvement Loans

Depending on your situation, tapping into the equity in your home may be the way to finance that home improvement project, debt consolidation and more. Just one of the ways that we make a difference is that our Real Estate professionals can help you assess your options – with no pressure or sales push. We’ll help you find the right financing option for your needs and your budget.

Home Equity Loans

Low, fixed rates and the comfort of set payments every month are just some of the many benefits of financing with a home equity loan. With terms from 5 to 20 years, and the flexibility of financing up to 80% CLTV, you’ll see the difference in your budget every month.

Home Equity Lines of Credit

Versatile and flexible, a First U.S. Home Equity Line of Credit can help you fund a variety of needs. Use the funds for anything, like home improvement projects, taxes, debt consolidation, education expenses and more.

With no annual fees, rates as low as 5.99% APR* for 6 months, then 8.50% (Prime + 0%) , and our generous 20-year draw and repayment period, you’ll experience the difference of a First U.S. Home Equity Line of Credit.

*APR is variable and based on Prime Rate as published in The Wall Street Journal on the last day of the previous month (currently 8.50%). Your actual rate may vary based on your credit history and CLTV. Minimum APR 3.99%. Maximum APR 15%. 20-year draw/repayment period with no annual fee. $499 opening fee for 2nd trust deeds or $799 for 1st trust deeds (waived if $5,000 initial advance is taken and account remains open for 3 years), plus recording fees.

Payment example, 6 monthly payments of $7.17 for each $1,000 borrowed, followed by 234 monthly payments of $8.67 for each $1,000 borrowed.

Reverse Mortgages

If you're a California homeowner age 62 or over, you can eliminate your mortgage payments and generate tax-free income using the equity in your home with a reverse mortgage.

  • No payments are due on the loan as long as you occupy the home as your primary residence, and you can stay in your home as long as you choose.
  • Generate extra income for living expenses, medical bills, home repairs, travel or more.
  • And best of all, we make a difference for you by offering sound advice without the sales goals or pressure you might experience elsewhere. If a reverse mortgage isn’t right for you, you can trust that we’ll let you know.
