What is a HELOC?

We’re now offering No-Cost HELOCs! Enjoy no closing fees when you keep your line of credit open for three years or more.*

Your HELOC includes a 10-year draw period followed by a 10-year repayment period, allowing repeated access to funds as you repay your balance. Take advantage of your home’s equity today with Deseret First!

What is a piggyback loan?


A piggyback loan is a second mortgage done at the same time as a first mortgage, essentially piggybacking on the first mortgage. DFCU offers these “piggyback” second mortgages for both purchasing or refinancing your home.

Why should I consider a piggyback loan?

Homebuyers often use piggyback loans to avoid private mortgage insurance (PMI) costs. If you don’t have a full 20% down payment for a home, consider running the numbers. A piggyback loan can make up the difference and save you money on PMI. Contact a loan officer today to discuss your options with you. We’d like to teach you about your options, not sell or pressure you into something you’re not ready for. Our priority is to help you find the option that makes you the most confident about your decision.
