A line of credit is an approved amount of money you can use for emergency funds, overdraft protection, or major life events — when you don’t need all the money all at once.

Why choose a line of credit?

Apply once, reliable forever2

We only charge interest on the money you actually use, and you have ongoing access up to your credit limit without the need to re-apply.

Lower interest rates

The interest rate for a line of credit may be lower than a credit card; making it a cheaper option in an emergency.

Less stress around payments

A line of credit lets you borrow what you need and, unlike a loan, can be paid back according to your schedule.
