Re-energize your HELOC product on LoanPro’s modern credit platform

With interest rates on the rise, many would-be borrowers are thinking twice about taking on debt, especially debt that could risk their homes, cars, or other property. At the same time, these same consumers are still in need of financing, and could get significantly better terms if they secured their credit with collateral. A home equity line of credit (HELOC) should be a win-win for providers and consumers alike, but growing a HELOC portfolio will be increasingly difficult unless providers can build trust with a superior product and experience.

That’s why HELOC providers need LoanPro’s modern credit platform, the proven solution for over six hundred lenders and credit providers. LoanPro drives profitability and growth for HELOC providers through a combination of innovative offerings that draw in and delight borrowers:

  • Personalized financing. Attract new borrowers with financial terms that cater to their specific needs, offering unique interest rates and terms for different purchases.
  • Card supported. Give your borrowers ultimate flexibility in how they spend, accessing their credit through physical, virtual, and hybrid cards.
  • Comprehensive support. Deliver a best-in-class borrower experience while driving operational efficiency, priming your portfolio for growth.

Draw in customers with personalized financing

With countless providers offering similar products, the HELOC market has long felt crowded. To stand out, providers need to develop personalized products that attract borrowers based not just on the fact that they need money and have collateral, but the specific purposes they’re seeking financing for.

With traditional credit cards, a degree of personalization is possible through rewards programs that dole out points or cash back based on purchase categories. But through LoanPro’s transaction level credit™, card and line of credit providers can personalize the actual financial mechanics of their products, offering differential interest rates, abatement, and other terms based on specific information for each individual purchase.

Transaction level credit™ personalizes HELOC programs, building customer engagement and loyalty by incentivizing them to spend in their preferred categories. Here are some examples of HELOC programs you could launch on LoanPro:

Home ImprovementAlthough perhaps the most common reason to seek a HELOC account, most products on the market do little to support a borrowers’ home improvement projects. With transaction level credit™, they can get preferred interest rates when purchasing hardware, renting tools, or hiring contractors.
Vehicle careUsing either a home or the vehicle itself as collateral, this program could offer lower interest on parts, repairs, and fuel, making your program a borrower’s first choice when spending on their car, boat, RV, or other vehicle.
Small businessGiving small business owners better control as they borrow against their equity, this account could offer lower rates for spending on business supplies and overhead costs, customized to each individual business’s needs.
EducationWhether a homeowner is going back to school or financing a child’s education, a HELOC for education could offer lower interest on textbooks, personal computers, and tuition, and even offer interest abatement until the end of each semester.
Family expensesWhen unexpected loss of income or sudden expenses threaten a family’s stability, your HELOC program could offer them low or abated interest on groceries, gas, and other day-to-day expenses.

And these examples just scratch the surface. With LoanPro’s configuration-first design, you can easily launch personalized HELOC products catering to any demographic, niche, and need.

Issue cards through your preferred partner

For borrowers, one of the major advantages of a home equity line of credit over a traditional installment loan is the flexibility in how they spend, leveraging their home’s equity for any number of purchases as they’re needed rather than a single lump sum. And by connecting LoanPro with the issuer of your choice, HELOC providers can offer even greater convenience by issuing cards connected to HELOC accounts.

LoanPro supports physical, virtual, or hybrid cards, and emboss and deliver them to customers through your preferred issuer, meaning that you get access to a card infrastructure built for scale.

Win customer loyalty through best-in-class support

Winning a customer may boil down to the right mix of product and marketing, but retaining them in the long term requires a sustained, high-quality customer experience. Legacy systems, unfortunately, leave borrowers frustrated with long wait times and in the dark about simple account information, seeding distrust between customers and creditors.

To build trust, engagement, and loyalty with their customers, HELOC providers need a modern credit platform that can transform transactional interactions into long term relationships.

My prediction is that competing and winning in consumer lending over the next couple of decades will require lenders to invest in creating an exceptional servicing experience for their customers.
