Consolidate Debt by taking out a HELOAN or HELOC

A home equity loan (HELOAN) is a type of second mortgage that allows you to borrow against the available equity in your home. Our FNBO Home Equity Loans have competitive interest rates and a variety of payment terms to meet your needs.

A home equity line of credit (HELOC) is another type of second mortgage. Instead of a lump sum, a HELOC is a revolving line of credit that allows you to borrow money against a limit determined by the equity you’ve built through home ownership. You pay interest only on the amount you use.

Consolidate Debt by taking out a Personal Loan

Personal loans are typically unsecured, which means they don’t require collateral like a home equity loan, and as a result are accessible to almost anyone. Borrowers may qualify for a personal loan that has a lower interest rate than current debts, such as credit cards, making them a good option for debt consolidation.

Consolidate Debt via a balance transfer to a new Credit Card

Well qualified borrowers may be eligible to transfer their existing balance from a higher-interest credit card to one with a lower annual percentage rate (APR). Some credit cards allow you to transfer a balance with no fees and allow payments without interest for up to 12 months or longer, which can buy you the time needed to pay down the outstanding balance quicker, while saving you money each month.
