Is a Vibrant HELOC right for you?
Using a HELOC to increase your spending power is a lot like using a credit card—except, in most cases, a HELOC offers a lower interest rate and higher credit limit.
We offer an easy application process and fast approvals for homeowners whose properties are:
-
Located in Illinois or Iowa
-
Your primary residence (not an investment property or vacation home)
-
Not part of a homeowners’ association (condo or PUD)
Variable rates as low as 8.500% APR*
Estimate your current equity
How much you can borrow depends on the current market value of your home and how much you owe on your mortgage. Easy enough, right? Part of our process will be to order a valuation that will determine the market value of your home.
Submit an application
Gather a few items we will need (pay stub, W-2) and set aside about 15 minutes to complete your application. If you don't have those items right now, no worries—you can submit the application using your stated income, and we can figure out the rest later! Easy peasy!
Get a decision fast
Once you receive approval, it should take about a week to finalize your loan and receive your funds. We'll do our best to ensure you can tap into your equity as fast as possible!
Understand monthly payments
As with a credit card, you'll need to make a minimum monthly payment on what you owe. At Vibrant, that's always 0.75% of your current HELOC balance.

FAQ
That depends on your current mortgage balance. The total sum of your HELOC and your mortgage balance cannot exceed 100% of the fair market value of your home.
It's also important to make sure you don't borrow more than you can afford to repay. Your monthly minimum payment will equal 0.75% of your HELOC balance.
Another thing to remember—because this is a variable interest rate loan, your financing costs will fluctuate if you carry a balance. Talk with your banker about your target monthly payments.
There is an origination fee and some closing costs associated with a HELOC. Expect to pay about $450 in most cases, depending on the size of your line of credit and the value of your property.
No, you can use the funds for whatever you choose.
In addition to information about your employment history, W-2s and pay stubs, bank statements, and information about other outstanding debts like car loans or credit cards, you’ll need to prove that you own the property you’re borrowing against and that it is adequately insured.
We can't rule it out entirely, but it's unlikely! For the majority of HELOCs, we use what’s called an Automated Valuation Model (AVM) that estimates your property value based on data and analytics. This saves you money, time, and the hassle of an in-personal appraisal.
