The fastest HELOC available, with a 5-minute application and funding in as few as 5 days. Independent Figure HELOC review: 4.3/5 for heloc.

Our verdict
The fastest way on this list to turn home equity into cash: a 5-minute application and funding in as few as 5 days. The trade-off is that Figure draws 100% of the line at closing, minus an origination fee of up to 4.99%, so you pay interest on the whole amount from day one.
Skip it if you want to borrow gradually as bills come up, or you can wait a few weeks for a lower-fee lender.
