RETIREMENT LINE OF CREDIT

Retire comfortably in your own home.

If you’re a homeowner, your home is likely your greatest asset. If you’ve paid off most or all of your mortgage, consider tapping into your home’s market value to support your retirement plans.

Get up to 50% of your home's current market value.

The retirement line of credit1 allows you to borrow up to 50%2 of the value of your principal residence. After your credit limit has been established, use the funds as you see fit. With attractive interest rates, you can cover unexpected expenses, renovate, travel, start a business, consolidate your debt, or just enjoy a comfortable retirement. What you choose is entirely up to you.

Conversion into a mortgage loan.

Convert the balance on your retirement line of credit, in whole or in part, into a mortgage loan to protect yourself from interest rate increases and make fixed regular payments.1

Better than a reverse mortgage.

Unlike reverse mortgages, the retirement line of credit offers greater flexibility and is less restrictive, as long as you can repay the minimum monthly interest on the approved limit.
