FAQs

    While the Consumer Home Equity Loan and Home Equity Line of Credit are both secured on your property, they have some differences. The Consumer Home Equity Loan is a loan with a fixed amount, rate, term, and payments. A Home Equity Line of Credit is a line of credit that can be drawn on at any time during the Draw Period, up to your credit limit. In contrast to the Consumer Home Equity Loan, a Home Equity Line of Credit has a variable rate, meaning that your monthly payments may vary. Under a HELOC you have the option to convert variable-rate balances to fixed-rate balances. 

      You can easily view your loan balance, transfer funds, and make payments through FHB Online & Mobile Banking. If you have not yet enrolled in Online & Mobile Banking, you can enroll here.
