Interested in refinancing your home with us, or want to take out a second mortgage? An OTIS Fixed Rate Home Equity Loan may be right for you!

Home Equity Loans allow you to borrow a fixed amount for a fixed term (up to 20 years) at fixed rate based on the equity of your home. Your payment and interest rate will not change throughout the term of the loan.

Use the equity in your home to:
  • Tackle home maintenance projects or upgrades
  • Cover unexpected expenses that exceed your emergency fund
  • Consolidate and pay off higher-interest debt at a lower interest rate
  • Finance higher education or a wedding
  • And more!
