Low introductory rate HELOC from a top-rated credit union open to anyone. Independent Bethpage FCU HELOC review: 4.4/5 for heloc.
By Michael Hewitt, Founder & Editor-in-Chief. Rates last checked September 7, 2026.
Our verdict
Bethpage opens its HELOC to anyone, with an intro rate as low as 5.99% for 12 months and no closing costs on lines up to $500K. After those 12 months the rate turns variable and rises, and you'll need a membership account with a $5 minimum. Budget for the rate you'll pay in year two.
Skip it if you'll carry a balance long past the 12-month intro, or if you want a rate that can't change.
