Home Equity Line of Credit

If you’re a homeowner and have a borrowing need, take a good look at your home. If the home’s appraised value is greater than the principal balance on the mortgage, your home may have equity to borrow against. Home equity borrowing makes sense for remodeling projects that increase value or for financing important goals like tuition, a car purchase, or even a dream vacation.

TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR INTRODUCTORY FIXED-RATE OFFER
This introductory fixed-rate offer is available on new Home Equity Lines of Credit only. The Introductory Annual Percentage Rate (APR) is fixed at Prime – 1.00% (currently 7.50%) for the first 365 days from the agreement date (Promotional Interest Period), when you advance $20,000 or more at closing, maintain a balance of $20,000 or more for at least 6 months and maintain automatic payment (auto-pay) from a Burke & Herbert Bank checking account. Without auto-pay in effect, your APR will be 7.75%. At the conclusion of the Promotional Interest Period, the line of credit has a variable rate as described below.

VARIABLE-RATE FEATURE (except for fixed-rate Introductory APR during the Promotional Interest Period)
This line of credit has a variable rate feature and the APR (corresponding to the periodic rate) and the minimum monthly payment can change as a result. The APR includes only interest and no other costs. The APR is based on the value of an Index. The Index is the base rate on corporate loans posted by at least 70% of the 10 largest U.S. banks known as the Wall Street Journal U.S. Prime Rate and is published daily in the Wall Street Journal. To determine the APR that will apply to your line of credit, we add a margin to the value of the Index. Ask us for the current Index value, margin, and APR. After you open a line of credit, rate information will be provided on periodic statements that we send you.

RATE CHANGES Except for the Introductory APR in effect during the Promotional Interest Period and the maximum APR cap, there is no limit on the amount by which the rate can change in any one-year period. The maximum APR that can apply to the line of credit during the draw period and repayment period is 21.000% or the maximum APR allowed by applicable law, whichever is less. Except for any Promotional Interest Period, the minimum APR that can apply during the line of credit is 3.25%.

DRAW RATE During the draw period, the APR may change each day. It will be based on the value of the Index described as the base rate on corporate loans posted by at least 70% of the 10 largest U.S. banks known as the Wall Street Journal U.S. Prime Rate plus 1.000 percentage points. The APR may increase if the Index rate increases. An Index rate increase will result in an increase in the interest portion of the finance charge and it may have the effect of increasing your monthly minimum payment. A decrease in the Index rate will have the opposite effect as an increase.

REPAYMENT RATE During the repayment period, the APR may change every 60 months. It will be based on the value of the Index described as the base rate on corporate loans posted by at least 70% of the 10 largest U.S. banks known as the Wall Street Journal U.S. Prime Rate plus 2.000 percentage points. The APR may increase if the Index rate increases. An Index rate increase will result in an increase in the interest portion of the finance charge and it may have the effect of increasing your monthly minimum payment. A decrease in the Index rate will have the opposite effect as an increase.

Except for the Introductory Annual Percentage Rate (APR) in effect during the Promotional Interest Period, the APR is based on the line amount, and the current U.S. Prime Rate as published in the Wall Street Journal, which is 8.50% as of 7/27/2023. Rates subject to change.


The Auto-Pay discount is not reflected in the APRs shown in the table above.
