MeritLine home equity line of credit

 

Use your home equity as security and lock in our lowest rates

Your home is more than just a place to live — it’s a powerful financial asset. The FirstOntario MeritLine is a home equity line of credit (HELOC) that lets you unlock equity in your home to invest in a renovation or education, provide security against unexpected expenses, or reduce interest payments through debt consolidation.

Pair a MeritLine with a FirstOntario mortgage

Holding a mortgage and a HELOC is a smart financial strategy that provides stability and flexibility. While your mortgage provides predictability, a HELOC offers funds you can tap into as you need it. Take advantage of competitive rates, streamline your borrowing under one roof, and make the most of your home’s equity without having to refinance. It’s an effective way to stay financially agile while building long-term value.
