Home Equity Loans

If you currently own a home, you can use the equity to pay for other things. A home equity loan or home equity line of credit from GenFed makes it easy to access the value in your home.

You don’t have to have your current mortgage with us to take advantage of our great home equity options!

To figure out approximately how much equity you have, subtract any outstanding mortgage balance(s) from your home’s appraised value.

Home Equity Loan

A home equity loan (sometimes called a second mortgage) lets you borrow a set amount of money at a fixed rate for a specific period of time.

You can use the money for just about any purpose: making home improvements, buying a vehicle, consolidating your debt, paying for college, and more! The interest may be tax-deductible.

Remote Loan Payments

Make a GenFed Laon Payment from another financial institution through online banking - these instructions may be useful in setting up transfers from other banks for your loan payments.  Use these instructions as well to transfer funds from other financial institutions into and out of GenFed.

Or, make a loan payment in person at any GenFed branch or one of our over 5,000 branches nationwide with our shared branching program!  

GenFed has also partnered with PayNearMe to accept cash deposits and loan payments at a number of community merchants for same day processing to your GenFed account or loan.
