What is the delivery timeframe for providing a HELOC brochure to a member?

Providing a HELOC (Home Equity Line of Credit) brochure at the time the application is given to the member is essential to ensure that the borrower has all the necessary information upfront. This practice aligns with regulatory requirements aimed at promoting transparency and informed decision-making in lending processes. By offering the brochure simultaneously with the application, lenders ensure that applicants can review pertinent details about the product, including terms, fees, and features, which can greatly influence their borrowing decisions. This immediate availability fosters a better understanding of the product, allowing members to ask questions and receive clarification as they complete their application. This practice is designed to protect consumers and uphold ethical lending standards.
