    VARIABLE RATE LOAN Expand/Collapse

    A variable rate loan is a loan in which the rate of interest fluctuates in response to changes in the prime rate.

    This type of product allows you to take advantage of low interest rate periods. When interest rates fall, you are paying down more on your principal with each payment, and less interest. When interest rates rise with a variable rate loan, the amount of interest increases and your principal payment decreases.
