A home equity line of credit can help your clients tap into the value of their home.5
Your clients may be able to take advantage of the equity in their home to finance home improvement projects, consolidate debt, pay for educational expenses, or finance a major purchase. Rocket Mortgage offers a home equity line of credit (HELOC) with a competitive rate. The HELOC offers:
- A revolving line of credit and two types of accounts are available: Standalone HELOCs applied for and opened independently of any other mortgages on the home or Piggyback HELOCs which are applied for and opened simultaneously with the first mortgage at the time of purchase or refinance.
- Interest charges only on the amount borrowed during the initial 10-year draw period.
- Flexibility to use the line again once it is paid down prior to the repayment period.
- Easy account access using HELOC checks.
Access the value of your portfolio with a flexible line of credit from Schwab Bank.
To help investors tap into the value of their investments and access cash for personal or business needs, generally without having to sell securities, Schwab Bank offers a Pledged Asset Line. This flexible line of credit can help clients remain invested while providing a source of funds for future business or personal needs. Clients can leverage the value of their portfolio by pledging eligible brokerage assets as collateral6 through a separate Pledged Account maintained at Schwab. Advisors can continue to manage client assets to help meet their investment goals and retain the ability to buy, sell, and trade within the Pledged Account.7
This securities-based, non-purpose8, flexible line of credit can be used to help:
- Renovate a home or provide financing for an investment property.
- Fund a business or new start-up.
- Finance college tuition or other education related expenses.
- Cover tax payments.
- Avoid potential tax consequences caused by the sale of assets.
This flexible line of credit offers:
- Line amounts beginning at $100,000 with a minimum initial advance requirement of $70,000.
- Competitive variable rates, based on the Secured Overnight Financing Rate ("SOFR")9 plus an interest rate spread.
- Interest charges only on the amount of the line used.
- Line access via checks or wire transfers.
- No set-up fees or prepayment penalty. Brokerage fees and commissions may apply.
Entering into a Pledged Asset Line and pledging securities as collateral involve a high degree of risk. At any time, including in the event that the loan value of collateral is insufficient to satisfy the minimum loan value of collateral or to support the outstanding loans, Schwab Bank may demand immediate payment of all or any portion of the outstanding obligations, or require additional cash or securities to be added to the Pledged Account maintained at Charles Schwab & Co., Inc. If a Demand is not addressed, the pledged securities may be immediately liquidated without further notice to you, which may result in tax consequences.

4. For Mortgage First: Mortgage First is a service available exclusively from Rocket Mortgage. Rocket Mortgage verifies the home buyer's income, reviews credit, and underwrites the proposed loan without an identified property. Not all properties are eligible. Once a property has been identified and approved, Rocket Mortgage may issue final loan approval. The interest rate does not lock until a contract is entered, and so rates may change without notice. Other conditions and restrictions may apply. No loan will issue without buyer's provision of insurance, an adequate appraisal, and clear title. This advertisement is not an offer to lend, and does not empower your client to accept any loan agreement. Mortgage First terms and conditions may change without notice.
5. Home equity lines have a 10‐year draw period followed by a 20‐year repayment period. During the draw period, monthly payments of accrued interest are required. Payments will increase if rates increase. At the end of the draw period, your required monthly payments will increase because you will be paying both principal and interest. You may not use this home equity line as a bridge loan, for commercial purposes, to invest in securities, or to repay a margin loan.
HELOC Terms: First lien standalone HELOCs are available. Second lien standalone or piggyback HELOCs are available with an eligible Schwab Bank first lien loan. Rates vary for second homes, vacation homes, or HELOCs opened as standalone accounts.

HELOC Fees: The estimated range of fees you may pay is from $0 ‐ $29.00 for every $1,000 of your line amount, and will vary based on the location of the property.

Proof of proper and adequate insurance may be required prior to closing. You are responsible for paying any state, county, or local taxes imposed on a home mortgage transaction. Payments will increase if rates increase. At the end of the draw period, your required monthly payments will increase because you will be paying both principal and interest.
6. Pledged Asset Line: Schwab Bank, in its sole discretion, will determine at any time the eligible collateral criteria and the loan value of collateral.
