High-LTV HELOC allowing up to 90% combined loan-to-value. Independent Spring EQ HELOC review: 4/5 for heloc. Best for Homeowners with less than 20% equity.
By Michael Hewitt, Founder & Editor-in-Chief. Rates last checked September 29, 2026.
Our verdict
Homeowners with less than 20% equity are who Spring EQ serves: it lends up to 90% combined loan-to-value, with a fixed-rate draw option. You pay for that reach with a lender fee and an annual fee, and Spring EQ does not publish its rates, so get a quote in writing. Borrow only what the quoted rate justifies.
Skip it if you have 20% or more equity, since low-LTV lenders charge lower rates.
