Through this promotion, eligible members qualify for an elevated Annual Percentage Yield (APY). New 12-month Regular Share Certificates will receive a 4.45% APY and new 12-month Jumbo Share Certificates will receive a 4.50% APY. New 36-month or 60-month Regular Share Certificates will receive a 5.00% APY and new 36-month or 60-month Jumbo Share Certificates will receive a 5.05% APY. To qualify for the promotion, the following requirements must be met: 


• Open a new Alliant Credit Union 12-month, 36-month, or 60-month Regular Share Certificate, or a 12-month, 36-month, or 60-month Jumbo Share Certificate between October 30, 2026, and November 30, 2026.

3. Fixed Introductory Rate Offer Availability

The fixed introductory rate offer is available on new HELOC applications received from 03/16/2026 through 12/31/2026. The introductory rate applies for the first 6 months after origination. No member or other discounts apply during the introductory period. Promotional offers are subject to change. Alliant may discontinue Introductory Rate HELOC offers at any time without notice, regardless of the advertised offer period.


Variable Rate Information After Introductory Period

The Annual Percentage Rate (APR) is variable rate based on the Prime Rate (as published in The Wall Street Journal) plus or minus a margin, and may adjust monthly. Current APRs start as low as 7.24% and will vary based on creditworthiness, lien position, loan amount, and other factors. Your APR will never exceed 16.00% for the life of the plan, no matter how high the Prime Rate rises. This maximum is a built-in consumer protection that caps your exposure to future rate increases. Loans without automatic payment selection from an Alliant Credit Union account are subject to an increase in rate of 0.25%. 


4. Home Equity Line of Credit Availability

HELOCs are available in AZ, CA, CO, CT, FL, GA, HI, IL, IN, KY, MA, MI, MN, MO, NC, NJ, NV, NY, OH, PA, TN, UT, VA, WA, WI, and Washington, D.C. Maximum CLTV is 85% for members with 90+ days of membership, lower limits may apply based on membership tenure, property location and creditworthiness. Properties in AZ, CA, CO, FL, GA, IN, MI, MO, NC, NV, TN, and UT are limited to 80% CLTV. Minimum loan amount is $10,000 ($25,001 in WI and Washington, D.C.). HELOCs are available on owner-occupied 1- to 2-unit properties and are subject to credit approval, verification of application information, and receipt of collateral documents. Rates and closing costs vary based on credit qualifications, state requirements, loan amount, CLTV, and credit history.


Costs of a Home Equity Line of Credit

No closing costs apply on HELOCs up to $250,000 that meet Alliant criteria, excluding applicant-requested appraisals, state fees and taxes, and notary fees. HELOCs over $250,000 may be charged a fee of up to $1,000. Additional costs may apply to satisfy existing liens. Borrowers are responsible for any state or local fees and taxes. Fees and taxes vary by location. Property insurance is required. Flood insurance may also be required. A full appraisal, at the applicant's expense, is required for properties located in FEMA-designated natural disaster areas.


The $50 annual fee is waived the first year and charged annually thereafter, regardless of account balance. A $200 termination fee may apply if the HELOC is closed within 36 months of origination to reimburse certain third-party costs paid on your behalf. A $250 refinance fee applies if an Alliant home equity product is refinanced without increasing the credit limit by at least $10,000. See your loan agreement for additional fee information.


Minimum payments during the draw period will not repay principal, which may result in a higher principal-and-interest payment after the 10-year draw period ends.


Subject to Credit Approval

All accounts and loans are subject to approval and Alliant lending criteria. We may be unable to approve your application if, for example, we cannot verify your income, accounts are past due or over limit, or other underwriting requirements are not met. If so, we will notify you. Responding to this offer does not guarantee approval. Rates, terms, and conditions are subject to change. Other restrictions may apply.


Use of Automated Value Models

Alliant uses Automated Value Models (AVMs) based on local real estate data to estimate your home's value. In rare cases where Alliant is not able to establish a value for your property through an AVM, an appraisal can be ordered at the applicant's expense to determine the estimated property value for lending purposes.
