APR of 8.99% following the introductory period for the first 6 billing cycles reflects a primary residence combined loan-to-value (CLTV) ratio of 80% or lower, and a 0.25% interest rate discount that is available for HELOCs with monthly automatic payments (ACH) established and elected at the time of application to be paid from a borrower’s Flagstar Bank deposit account. Actual APR is variable for the life of the loan and will be based on the published Wall Street Journal prime rate (index) in effect, plus a margin determined by the borrower's credit qualifications, the amount of the line of credit, lien position, CLTV ratio, type of property, and other factors. Effective 2/7/2025, the current variable APR will range from 8.99% - 21.00%; it will not exceed 21.00% APR. Discounts will only apply after the introductory rate expires.
