Please consult your tax advisor for more information regarding your individual situation. From the time you open an IRA account until the day you retire (and withdraw your savings), the money you save grows tax-deferred. This means that your balance is likely to grow at a faster rate than it would in a taxable savings account earning the same amount of interest.2

The best part? Annual IRA contribution limits are higher than ever, plus those age 50 and over may be able to contribute additional "catch-up" amounts of $1,000 per year. IRA contributions may also qualify you for a tax credit. In addition, as of 2020 you can continue to contribute to your IRA after you reach 72 years of age. Please consult your tax advisor for more information regarding your individual situation.

Is a Rollover IRA Right for you?

If you are retiring or changing jobs you may be able to ask your employer to arrange for a "direct rollover" of your money into a new IRA account with us to avoid the mandatory 20% withholding tax. You can also do an IRA-to-IRA rollover. Complete the rollover within 60 days from the date you receive the assets from your old IRA to qualify. Just go to your financial institution and close your IRA, then bring the check to us. The IRS limits the number of these rollovers to one in a 12-month period. Other options include leaving the money in your former employer’s plan, if permitted, cashing out the account value, or, if your new employer offers a plan and rollovers are permitted, you could roll over the assets to your new employer’s plan.

What is a HELOC?

A Home Equity Line of Credit (HELOC) is a line of credit secured by the available equity of your Hawaii home. The available equity of your home is the total value of your house minus the amount you still owe on it. For example, if your home is worth $500,000 and you still owe $200,000, the equity in your home is $300,000. A HELOC is used to access your equity in a credit line that can be used to purchase the things you want or need. Many Hawaii residents use HELOCs to make renovations, complete home improvement projects, or make major purchases.

Features:

  • Available for homes in Hawaii
  • Uses the equity in your home
  • Lines of credit available up to $1,000,0001
  • No annual fee
  • Access line of credit by EquityExpressSM Visa® card or checks

Current HELOC Promotion

  2. Set up direct deposit in your checking account used for automatic payment of your HELOC

Already have a HELOC and want a fixed rate?
Request a Fixed Rate Equity Loan Option (FRELO) 

WHAT IS A FIXED RATE EQUITY LOAN OPTION?
A Fixed Rate Equity Loan Option allows you to get a fixed interest rate on any portion of your Home Equity Line of Credit balance. A FRELO is a loan you take out of your HELOC during the draw period. As you pay this back, your HELOC line is replenished. A FRELO allows you to enjoy fixed rates for a set amount of time, rather than paying variable rates.

 

WHAT ARE THE ADVANTAGES OF A FIXED RATE EQUITY LOAN OPTION?
The biggest advantage to a FRELO is the consistency of predictable monthly payments. If you are planning to pay for a major purchase or renovation project using HELOC funds, you can lock in a fixed interest rate for a set term. At ASB, we allow you to take out up to 5 fixed rate equity loans on your HELOC at one time. These fixed rate options are available at any time during the draw period of your HELOC. With our competitive FRELO, you can choose loan terms between 3, 5, 7, 10 and 15 years with a fixed interest rate. A fixed rate HELOC loan may be a great option if you have a planned expense but still want access to funds should you need additional money.

* Offer is a two-year, three-year, or four-year promotion (Promotion Period): Annual Percentage Rate (APR) is 1.50% fixed for two years, 2.00% fixed for three years, or 3.00% fixed for four years, from the date your new Equity ExpressSM (EEX) Home Equity Line of Credit (HELOC) account is opened. Offer is for a qualifying first or second lien request on an owner-occupant or first lien request on investor applications received 12/1/20 through 3/31/21 that fund by 4/30/21. Promotional rates require automatic payment from an American Savings Bank (ASB) personal checking account. Cancellation of automatic payment anytime during the life of the loan may increase your rate to the non discounted rate. Offer is not available for a second lien request on an investor line, on properties listed for sale within the prior six months, to any existing ASB HELOC account opened prior to 12/1/20 and secured by the subject property, or when paying down/off any existing ASB residential mortgage loan balance. If you have not closed your loan and a new promotion begins with a different rate, you may opt for the new promotion. After the Promotion Period ends, the interest rate is variable. Current variable rate effective 3/1/21 is 4.50% APR, and is subject to change monthly based on the highest Prime Rate published in the Wall Street Journal, plus a margin (subject to the floor rate of 4.50%; maximum APR is 18.00%). If your line amount is more than $25,000, a fee of $500 will be charged if you request we close it within three years from the agreement date. This fee will not be charged if: (i) your line is $25,000 or less, (ii) you sell the collateral to an unrelated/unaffiliated third-party, or (iii) you pay off your loan with proceeds from a real estate secured loan from us. EEX must be secured by fee simple property located in Hawaii. Fire, hurricane, flood (if in flood hazard zone) and localized peril (if in a lava hazard zone) insurance policies are required at homeowner’s expense.

 

For owner-occupant EEXs up to $250,000 (excluding properties listed for sale within the prior six months), ASB will pay or waive fees and costs for flood certification (up to $9), bank’s title insurance (up to $125), credit report (up to $2.50 per borrower), trust review, condo review, mortgage recording, recording fee for the release of third-party mortgage, and valuation through an automated valuation model and property condition report (up to $185) of ASB’s choice; however, at their own cost, customers may request an appraisal at an estimated cost between $500 and $1,500. For owner-occupant EEXs up to $250,000 (excluding properties listed for sale within the prior six months), receive a credit of up to $500 at loan closing to offset a third-party lender’s early closing fee when you make an initial advance on your new EEX to pay off your existing home equity line balance of at least $10,000 with that third-party lender. This early closing fee must be assessed and identified by the third-party lender through its payoff procedure in order to receive the credit at loan closing. If you do not have an ASB personal checking account, a Kalo Checking account must be opened. Please see the Personal Deposit Account Terms and Conditions for other terms, conditions and fees for Kalo Checking accounts.

Current non-promotional rate as of 3/1/21 is 5.75% for a 15-year fixed rate loan. Other FRELO terms and rates are available. FRELO may be added upon your request.
