– Equity is the difference between what you still owe on your house (mortgage balance) and what your house is worth on the market now (appraised value).
– MO property located in St. Louis City, St. Louis County, Jefferson County, Franklin County, Washington County, St. Francois County and Ste. Genevieve County, as well as St. Charles County. IL property located in St. Clair County, Madison County, Monroe County and Randolph County.

To calculate how much you can borrow, take your home’s current value and multiply it by 80% or 100%. Take that figure and subtract how much you still owe on your current mortgage. The result is your available equity.

For example: If your home is worth $100,000, then $80,000 will be 80% of it. Next, if your current mortgage balance is $50,000, you will subtract it from $80,000. The maximum amount you can borrow for 80% is $30,000.

***Money Mover CD has a $10,000 minimum balance. Only new funds eligible. No rate bump allowed

1 + 2 This account is subject to a Tiered Variable Rate. Balances up to $15,000 receive APY of 4.25%; balances over $15,000 earn a rate of .08% on the portion over $15,000 resulting in 4.25% – 0.61% APY depending on balance (APY range calculated assuming a balance of $115,000). If qualifications for higher yield are not met, all balances earn .08% APY. In order to avoid a $5.00 monthly fee, you must maintain an average daily balance (ADB) of $2,500.00 in your account each month. No transaction limitations apply to this account. In order to earn the disclosed APY and be reimbursed for domestic ATM fees incurred (during each dividend period you will be reimbursed up to a total of $25.00, if qualifications are met), during each dividend period you must: (a) make 15 or more debit card transactions using your Visa Check Card (that post and clear your account as evidenced by your monthly statement); (b) consent to receive your periodic statements electronically (eStatements); and (c) make at least one direct deposit transaction into the Premier Checking account each dividend period.
