Interest-only Payments Disclosure: The interest rate is variable, and the monthly payments will change over the 10 years depending on changes to the Prime Rate. At the end of your 10-year draw period, your balance will be converted to a principal and interest monthly payment with a 15-year repayment period. If you select interest-only payments, at the end of the draw period, even if the interest rate stays the same, your monthly payment will increase, possibly significantly, because you will be required to pay both principal and interest.

Automatic Payment Discount Disclosure: At the time of origination, having a Citizens consumer checking account set up with automatic payment deduction for monthly home equity line of credit payments is required at the time of loan origination to be eligible for the 0.25% rate discount.

Annual Fee Disclosure: No annual fee for the first year, then $50 per year thereafter during the draw period. The Annual Fee is waived for the Citizens Home Equity Line of Credit if you have a Citizens Private Client™, Citizens Private Bank™ or Citizens Quest® Checking account open and active at the anniversary of your Credit Line when the Annual Fee would be assessed. If you do not meet this requirement, the Annual Fee of $50 will be charged to your Credit Line Account.

Fixed Rate Lock Disclosure: During the Draw Period, you may lock some or all of your outstanding principal balance into a fixed ANNUAL PERCENTAGE RATE (each, a “Lock”). Minimum lock amount is $5,000. You may have up to 3 Locks outstanding at any time. The fixed ANNUAL PERCENTAGE RATE on a Lock will likely be higher than the then current variable (adjustable) ANNUAL PERCENTAGE RATE on the variable rate Credit Line balance. Fees and additional conditions may apply. For more information, see your Home Equity Line of Credit Agreement or contact the HELOC Rate Lock Desk at 833.984.1408.
