Things that go bump in the night are telling you something, and it probably isn’t “Boo!” or “Get Out!” The message may very well be that it’s time to consider improvements around the house – replacing that old furnace, insulating the attic, finishing the basement.
A home equity loan from your credit union may be the answer. With home values climbing, you probably have more equity than you think. Borrowing against a portion of that equity is a low-cost way to re-invest in your property.
A traditional home equity loan allows you to borrow in one lump sum and finance repayment over as many as 15 years. A home equity line of credit (HELOC) gives even more flexibility. Earmark a portion of your equity to borrow against, then write yourself a loan whenever you want.
Scared that you may not have the equity for improvement? Ask about a Minnesota Housing Fix Up Loan, where you can borrow up to $75,000 (terms to 20 years) without equity. Funds may be used for a variety of projects, including windows, siding, bathroom and kitchen remodels, insulation, accessibility improvements, and more. :
APR = Annual Percentage Rate. Rates dependent on THFCU relationships, credit history, collateral, and term. Fix-Up Loan: No equity or mortgage lien required. Requires a household income of $177,800 or less to qualify.

There’s no other savings account quite like WINcentive. On the surface, it’s a traditional savings account – put money in, earn above-market dividends. Here’s where it gets better: Every time you make a deposit of $25 or more, you’re entering into an exclusive statewide drawing for cash prizes (up to four entries each month). Each month, 45 winners receive $100. Each quarter, four more receive $1,000. And at the end of the year, one lucky winner takes home $5,000. Drawings reset every month, meaning you’re eligible to win many times over.
| Prize Drawings | Number of Winners | Prize Amounts | Drawing Dates |
|---|---|---|---|
| Monthly | 45 | $100 | 10th of each month |
| Quarterly | 4 | $1,000 | 10th of each month |
| Annually | 1 | $5,000 | January, 2027 |
| Total in 2026 | 557 | $75,000 | |
| Winning one prize category (monthly, quarterly, or annual) does not disqualify a participant from winning a different prize category within the same year. Drawings will occur on or about the 10th of each month, or the next business day, for the previous month and/or quarter end. Prize Amounts are estimates and subject to change. | |||
