{/* FAQs */}
Fixed rate loans are loans that have an interest rate that does not change over the life of a loan, which means you pay the same amount each month. It also means you know with certainty the total interest that you’ll pay over the life of the loan. Fixed rate is a general term that can apply to different types of loans with a variety of uses, including student loans, mortgages, auto loans, and unsecured personal loans.
Variable rate loans are loans that have an interest rate that will fluctuate over time in line with prevailing interest rates. Sometimes they are also known as floating-rate loans.
