What this product does

Home equity loans: Converting property equity into credit, and the difference between a lump sum and a revolving limit.

A home equity loan converts property equity into credit, either as a lump sum or as a revolving limit secured by the property.

A secured product names an asset, and the lender registers or holds a claim against it.

The asset is the lender's fallback, so the price is usually lower than for an unsecured equivalent.
