Home Equity Line of Credit
Because you use your home as collateral, a HELOC gives you flexible access to cash with some of the lowest financing rates available for things like debt consolidation, home improvements, vacations, education and more. One of the best advantages of using a HELOC is that the interest you pay may be tax deductible.1  To get an idea of how much you might be able to borrow, use our calculator at broadwaybank.com/calculator.

When you get quality, great-rate financing before you shop for a vehicle, you’ll have better bargaining power and you’ll be able to take advantage of the dealership’s alternative incentives. That way you don’t have to choose between price discounts and good financing rates.

Home Loans
Mortgage rates are still near all-time lows, and with the housing market just starting to turn around, now is still a great time to buy or refinance a home. Whether you choose a conventional loan, construction loan or an FHA or VA loan, taking advantage of today’s low interest rates can help you save a bundle over the long term.
