    Take a look at our home loan calculator to see how much you can borrow with an equity loan.

    The Details:

    • Take advantage of a line of credit.

    • We won't penalise you for an early repayment.

    • The maximum loan term is 30 years.

    • Interest is calculated daily and charged in arrears.

    • Make optional additional repayments to pay off your loan faster.

    • Borrow as much as you need with no maximum loan amount.

    • Enjoy the added flexibility of Portability.1

    • A credit card will always be available to Equity Line of Credit users at Bank First.

      We offer a maximum 90% of the value of the property (Lenders Mortgage Insurance is required for loans of more than 80% of the value of the property).
