APR = Annual Percentage Rate.  MyChoice Line is a Home Equity Line of Credit (HELOC) product.  You can obtain credit advances up to your approved credit limit for 120 months (10 years) during the “draw period.”  During the draw period, payments will be due on a monthly basis.  Your minimum monthly payment will be established at the close of each billing cycle at an amount equal to all accrued yet unpaid finance charges.  You also have the option of making interest-only payments during the draw period.  The rate is variable based on the published Wall Street Prime rate plus or minus the predetermined margin.  The rate is subject to change monthly.  The rate floor is 3.00% APR and the rate ceiling is 21.00% APR.  During the draw period, you have the option of making up to two fixed-rate advances from your available credit limit.  These fixed rate segments are subject to rate pricing based on the term selected and the original credit qualifications when the MyChoice Line was established, but will be based on the then-current rates, which are adjusted monthly based on the Wall Street Prime rate.  After the draw period ends, you will no longer be able to obtain credit advances and you must pay your outstanding balance during the “repayment period.”  The length of the repayment period will depend on the date and the amount of your last advance, but in no event will exceed 120 months.  During the repayment period, your minimum periodic payment (for variable rate balances) will be the amount necessary to fully amortize your then unpaid balance by the agreement maturity date.  The minimum payment will be established on the first day of such repayment period, and will be reestablished on the day: (i) any outstanding fixed rate balance is consolidated into the variable rate balance, and (ii) any interest rate change occurs.  Rates vary based on qualifying credit tiers.  Member is responsible for appraisal cost if one is required.  Subject to credit and property approval.  Membership in good standing is required.  Townhomes and condos and non-owner occupied are subject to additional rate margin.  HELOC available on one-to-four family residential dwellings located in Colorado.  Property insurance is required.
