At Interior Federal, our Board of Directors has chosen a variable rate for our HELOC because it provides an accurate reflection of market conditions. The rate can change on January 1 and July 1. The rate will be based on an index of the Prime Rate as published in the Wall Street Journal plus or minus a margin. The rate will never be higher than 18% or lower than 3.25% APR. Not all applicants will qualify for the lowest rate.
