*The Annual Percentage Rate (APR) may vary daily and will be based on the Prime Rate as listed in the Wall Street Journal (Prime) plus a margin. As of 2/7/24 the Prime Rate is 8.50%. Minimum Line of Credit is $25,000. For HELOCs of $25,000 – $49,999 the APR will be Prime +.0%, currently 8.50% APR. For HELOCs of $50,000 – $499,999 the APR will be Prime -.25%, currently 8.25% APR.

All APRs reflect a .25% auto-pay discount from a BankRI checking account. In some instances, the APR calculation used could result in a fully indexed APR below the APR of 8.00%. If this occurs, your APR will not be less than 3.00%. Property hazard insurance required. $40 Annual Fee is waived for the first year.
