Get funding for life’s planned and unplanned expenses. Unlike a mortgage designed to purchase property, a Home Equity Line of Credit (HELOC) helps secure financing with the equity you already have in your home.
With a Seacoast HELOC, you can borrow just the money you need instead of taking out a loan with a higher lump sum. Because you decide what you borrow, a HELOC can be an excellent solution for funding home improvements, debt consolidation, educational expenses, emergencies, or other financial goals.
With low interest rates and flexible payment options, a HELOC from Seacoast Bank provides homeowners with a flexible and convenient way to access funds based on their home equity, making it a popular option for various financial needs and goals.

How Does a HELOC Work in Florida?
A Home Equity Line of Credit (HELOC) operates as a revolving line of credit secured against the equity in your home.
When you apply for a HELOC, your bank assesses the property's value, your creditworthiness and your ability to repay. If approved, you are granted access to a credit line with a predetermined limit during a draw period.
During the draw period, which typically lasts a few years, you can withdraw funds as needed, like using a credit card. During this time, you only need to pay the interest on the amount you've borrowed.
Once the draw period ends, any principal borrowed and accrued interest transition into the repayment period. Some HELOCs will require payment in full, while others allow installment payments over a fixed term.
