KEY FACTS Description A Regions Savings Secured Line of Credit is a revolving line of credit that allows funds to be borrowed, repaid and then borrowed again. The Line of Credit will be secured by the funds from your Regions savings account or consumer money market account. The total amount of the line will be secured, and the funds used as collateral from your deposit account are not available for withdrawal during the life of the Line of Credit. However, your deposit account will continue to earn interest. Purpose Use your Savings Secured Line of Credit for minor home improvements, car repairs, vacations, overdraft protection or a down payment to purchase a home. Features • An Automatic Payment Option is available with a Regions checking account. • May be used for overdraft protection for your Regions checking account. When used as overdraft protection, a minimum draw of $100, if available, will be advanced from your Savings Secured Line of Credit and credited to your protected Regions checking account. However, your checking account may be subject to an overdraft protection transfer fee.
