The definition of a home equity line of credit, also known as a HELOC, is a loan that allows you to borrow against the equity of your home. A HELOC provides flexibility, because unlike borrowing and paying interest on one large lump sum, you decide how much you need and pay interest only on what you use. A home equity line of credit typically offers a lower interest rate than other loan products.
