How It Works

It works like a regular Visa, but taps into your home equity to get you really, really low rates.

What is the Aven Home Card?

Aven is a credit card that lets you use your home equity to get really low rates.

How does it work?

Aven combines the convenience of a credit card with the savings of a home equity line of credit (HELOC). It works like any other credit card where you can make everyday purchases and earn unlimited 1.5% cash back. ¹

Do you have a fixed rate?

Yes! For Balance Transfers and Cash Outs, you have the flexibility and option of predictable monthly payments using a fixed monthly charge at both 10 and 15 years.

What is my monthly payment?

Monthly payments work like a standard credit card. It is calculated as 1% of the statement balance towards your principal plus your monthly interest rate on the balance. See Payment Calculator

Can I get cash too?

Yes! You can directly deposit cash from your Aven card to your bank account at the same low rate. A one-time 2% transfer fee applies.₁

Does this affect my credit score?

Checking your offer does not affect your credit score. Only if you accept and finalize your application to get your card will we do a hard credit check.

Are there any fees?

We try to reduce as many of the fees as possible. No annual, sign-up, pre-payment fees. There is a 2% fee on Cash Outs and Balance Transfers and a $29 late fee if you don’t make the minimum payment.₁

Resources

1. APR (Annual Percentage Rate) is the cost of credit as a yearly rate and does not include costs other than interest. It is a variable rate based on the Prime Rate plus a margin that doesn't change. The Prime Rate is the highest prime rate published in The Wall Street Journal "Money Rates" table (the "Index"). The Index as of August 3, 2021 is 3.25%. Your initial APR is based on your creditworthiness when you open your account. The maximum APR will not exceed 18% during the life of your account. Cash Out (draw to bank account) fee and Balance Transfer fee is 2% of amount transferred.

AutoPay Discount of 0.25% is offered to new cardholders only. You are not required to sign-up for Autopay. To keep the discounted rate, you must enroll in AutoPay by the end of your first billing cycle, or APR will increase by 0.25%. Unenrolling from AutoPay will increase your APR. Aven reserves the right to terminate the AutoPay Discount program for unenrolled cardholders at anytime and without notice.

Cashback applies to valid purchases (net of refunds or returns) made using the Aven card, and does not apply to non-card transactions, including balance transfers, cash-outs or reward redemptions. Cashback is accumulated as points and redeemable as statement credit. Refer to Rewards Terms & Conditions.
