Line of Credit

Lending & Mortgages
A preset borrowing limit you can draw from as needed and repay over time, only paying interest on the amount used.

Example

Understanding line of credit helps you see how your monthly payment of approximately $1,896 is structured — and how this concept affects your total cost over the life of the loan.
