Leverage your equity with a BankIowa home equity loan.

Your home is more than just bricks and mortar; it's an investment, a sanctuary, and a springboard to a brighter future. “Home equity” is the difference between your home’s appraised value and the amount you still owe on your mortgage. At BankIowa, we understand that life isn't always predictable, and sometimes, you need a little extra financial boost to turn your dreams into reality. That's where our home equity loan comes in.

Why choose a home equity loan?

Our home equity loan is a smart and flexible way to tap into the built-up equity in your home. Unlike a traditional mortgage where the funds are earmarked for your home, a home equity loan provides you with a lump sum of cash that can be used for a variety of purposes, including:

Home Improvement Projects: Upgrade your kitchen, add a new bathroom, or finish your basement. A Home Equity Loan can help you create the dream home you've always envisioned.
Debt Consolidation: Simplify your finances by consolidating high-interest debt with a lower-rate Home Equity Loan. This can free up monthly cash flow and save you money in the long run.
Major Purchases: Whether it's a new car, a dream vacation, or a medical procedure, a Home Equity Loan can help you afford life's big-ticket items.
