Expert review

When you take out a line of credit loan to access the equity in your home, the property is used to secure that loan. With a RAMS Line of Credit Home Loan, you can then access the funds you want via debit card, BPAY, cheque or Bank@Post.

If your loan balance stays under the approved credit limit of your loan, you will not have to make any regular repayments. However, you will have to repay the line of credit within the agreed loan term.
