Prime is a variable rate; as it changes, the APR on your account will also change. APR will never exceed 18.00%. Stated APR is effective for line amounts between $10,000-$500,000 with an auto payment from a Katahdin Trust personal checking account. All Bank loan programs, rates, terms and conditions are subject to change at any time without notice.

Current customers will be charged a documentation fee of 1.00% of the loan amount with a minimum fee of $250 or maximum fee of $1,500 for loans refinanced with less than $10,000 in new money.
4) Lock in your rate for a specified period with our RateLock option by converting all or a portion of the revolving balance into a fixed rate home equity loan without refinancing or reapplying, up to three separate fixed rate loans available at any one time. Minimum amount to lock in is $5,000. APR for that fixed portion will be locked until the balance is repaid and based on our current fixed home equity rates. Any line balances not converted to a fixed rate loan will continue to accrue interest at our current home equity line of credit rate. $50 fee applies for each fixed rate loan locked in, or 1.00% of the loan amount (with a minimum of $250 or maximum of $1,500) for each rate locked into a home equity loan special rate.
