Frequently asked questions
See allIs a Trovy HELOC a real HELOC?
Yes. The Trovy HELOC is a home equity line of credit that has the same basic legal structure as a bank HELOC. The difference is that the Trovy HELOC was built to make accessing home equity simpler and more flexible. Instead of a checkbook or wire transfer, you get a physical and virtual HELOC credit card, an application process built for your phone, and funding in days rather than weeks. With the Trovy HELOC, you can draw funds as you need them, and access your HELOC funds instantly with the Trovy HELOC credit card.
