Webster Bank offers home equity loans from $10,000 to $500,000. The amount you can borrow will depend on how much equity you currently have in your home.
You get the security and predictability of a fixed interest rate over the entire term of the loan and regular monthly payments. Terms from 5 to 30 years are available.
There are no closing costs in all states on loan amounts up to $500,000 that are secured by 1-4 family, owner-occupied homes.1
A home equity loan is one form of financing that enables you to borrow against the equity you’ve built up in your home. It provides a lump sum that you can use for virtually any purpose and has a fixed interest rate and fixed repayment schedule.
This is different from a home equity line of credit, which is also based on the equity in your home but is a revolving form of credit similar to a credit card. You can draw down against a total approved amount, repay, and then borrow again.
Home equity is the amount of value you currently own in your home. It’s calculated by subtracting the unpaid balance of your mortgage(s) from your home’s current market value.
Both are based on the equity in your home. However, a home equity loan offers a lump sum payment, a fixed interest rate, and fixed monthly repayment amounts, while a HELOC is a revolving form of credit similar to a credit card. You can draw down against a total approved amount, repay, and then borrow what you’ve paid off again.
Generally, a home equity line of credit is a good choice if you aren't sure exactly how much money you may need and over what period of time you'll need it. A home equity loan, on the other hand, is ideal if you want access to a one-time lump sum of money and more predictable repayment terms.

A home equity loan can help you fund important goals and, because it is secured by your home, interest rates tend to be lower compared to credit cards or unsecured personal loans. Home equity loans have fixed interest rates, predictable monthly payments, and relatively long repayment timelines.
However, because your home is collateral for the loan, you could lose your home if you’re unable to make your payments. And if the value of your home decreases, you could end up owing more than the house is worth.
