Discover Home Loans is a division of Discover, a digital bank and payments services company that’s been around since 1985. It specializes in fixed-rate home loans, including home equity loans and refinances. In addition to home loans, Discover offers a variety of other products like credit cards, checking and savings accounts, personal loans and student loans.

Since it doesn’t offer purchase loans, Discover will only make sense if you already own a home. It can allow you to tap into your home equity with a home equity loan and consolidate debt, pay for a home improvement project or meet another financial goal. A Discover mortgage may also help you refinance your mortgage so you can lower your interest rate and cut your monthly payments.
