This page covers home equity loan for Prince Edward Island residents, and it carries the provincial rule alongside the product description.
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.
