This process ensures that your money, which would otherwise sit idle and depreciate in value in a checking account, is instead used to reduce the principal balance of your HELOC. By consistently lowering the principal, you decrease the daily interest calculated on the loan. Lush highlights the efficiency and financial benefits of using a sweep account, emphasizing how it eliminates human error and maximizes the impact of your income on reducing interest costs.
