Borrowing

Lines of Credit

A line of credit is a loan you can access on demand—no questions asked.

​How a line of credit can work for you.

Enjoy ultimate flexibility

There are typically no restrictions as to how you can use the funds you’ve been approved for. Use as little or as much as you like, when you like and only pay interest on any balance owing.

Rinse and repeat

As you repay the funds you borrowed, you’re able to “reuse” your personal line of credit as often as you like. No need to reapply.

Repay at your pace

Pay interest only on the amount you use each month. Repayment is flexible—as little as the required minimum monthly interest on the outstanding balance, or more with no penalty.

Find the line of credit that's right for you.
