The Compound Verdict
Aven is the rare genuinely new idea in cards: HELOC pricing with credit card convenience and a real 2% earn. For disciplined homeowners who occasionally carry a balance, it beats every unsecured APR in the market. But securing grocery runs with your house demands respect, treat the line like the mortgage product it legally is.
