HOMe equity line of credit or home equity loan?
You may have heard the acronym “HELOC” or “second mortgage” when looking into a Home Equity Line
of Credit or Home Equity Loan. These types of loans utilize the equity you’ve built up in your primary
residence as collateral that you can borrow against.
As a member of Chicago Patrolmen’s FCU, you may be able to borrow up to 90% of your home’s appraised
value, less the balance on your first mortgage with either product. For example, on a home that appraises
for $300,000 and has a first mortgage balance of $180,000, the equity available to potentially utilize as
collateral would be calculated as follows:
Appraised Home Value:
$300,000
90% of the Appraised Value:
$270,000
Current Mortgage Balance:
$180,000
Maximum Loan Amount: $90,000

Which loan is right for you?
A Home Equity Line of Credit (“HELOC”) is ideal for those who want the flexibility of having a credit line
that can be borrowed against for 10 years. An example would be for education expenses where tuition
bills become due each year, or if there are multiple projects that you have planned for your home over the
coming years. The key feature on this loan is the variable rate, which can adjust quarterly based on the
published prime rate offering in the Wall Street Journal.
A Home Equity Loan is a fixed rate, fixed term product that is ideal for those who desire to borrow a
specific dollar amount and want the certainty of obtaining a fixed rate for the duration of the loan term.
CPFCU offers a variety of term options for this product. The fixed rate is determined by the desired loan
term as well as your credit score. Currently, rates are as low as 1.90%!*
Home values are rising and a Home Equity Line of Credit or Home Equity Loan are great ways
to borrow funds using collateral that you already have! If you’re curious about either product, or
have any other mortgage related questions, please call our real estate team for more information.

MESSAGE F ROM THE C EO
We recently completed our latest round of roll call visits to every district. We look forward to it
as an opportunity to let you know about all the things that we have going on at your credit union.
Our brand of personal marketing is unmatched among financial institutions and we make it a point
to differentiate ourselves through these efforts.
Invariably, we run into members or potential members who are surprised to find out that we offer
a certain type of loan or a particular product. What is amazing about this is that there is any
surprise at all regarding what we do for our members.
We are a full service credit union. It is personally and organizationally important to us to help you
meet every single one of your financial needs. That is what we do and what we are here for. In
truth, our biggest challenge is to make sure that each and every one of you knows the variety of
products and services that are available to you, here at your credit union.
In addition to our roll call visits, we attend your association dinners and golf outings. We make
presentations at many of your meetings. We sponsor seminars and provide educational events.
We have also started spreading the word about the credit union through social media channels.
We would be happy to make a presentation to your association or your unit. We are looking for
members who will help us get the word out about the credit union, our mission, and the thousands
of Police Officers and their families who are already benefiting from their membership with us.
Thank you for your business and your loyal support. It continues to be our pleasure to serve you.

Debbie Zielinski
My name is Debbie Zielinski and I’m the Branch Services Manager/
Training Coordinator at CPFCU. Much of what I do involves learning
different processes and systems then providing training to my fellow
employees at the credit union on how they operate. I’ve been
establishing and expanding this role for the past seven years, but I’ve
been with the credit union for over thirteen! I started my career here
as the Data Processing Manager. As time passed, I noticed a need
for more in-house training and I decided to pursue that path. Even though I had never done anything like
this before, I feel like I’ve found the perfect fit-I truly love what I do! Part of what makes my job enjoyable
is that I’m an explorer. I love finding out how and why things are done, which of course makes it easier
to train others. I think my co-workers appreciate that I take their questions seriously and will always find
them answers and solutions.
The other part of my job that makes it so rewarding is the feeling of family. People care about each other
and are very supportive. In my role I interact with every single employee at some point, so it’s great to
know that I work with such a wonderful group of people!
If you’ve met me or spoken with me on the phone you may have guessed that I didn’t grow up in Chicago.
Everyone always wants to know about my “accent”. For the record: I am originally from Tennessee and
I still get season tickets for Tennessee football and basketball every year! My husband humors me even
though he’s a born-and-bred Chicagoan. We both are big sports fans in general.
I’m looking forward to being a part of the new opportunities that are on the horizon for employees and
members!
