Education Loan Finance Program from SouthEast Bank – Loan Interest Rates & Fees
Your Starting Interest Rate (upon approval)
The interest rate you pay will be determined after you apply. It will be based upon your credit history, the loan term you select, and other factors. If approved, we will notify you of the rate you qualify for.
Your Interest Rate during the life of a loan: Fixed-Rate Loans
Your rate is fixed and will depend on the loan term that you select. This means that your interest rate will never change during the life of your loan.
Your Interest Rate during the life of the loan: Variable-Rate Loans
Your rate is variable. This means that your rate could move lower or higher than the rates on your disclosure. This loan has a variable interest rate that is based on a publicly available index, the 3-month London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR). Your rate will be calculated each month by adding a margin between 0.29% and 3.91% to the 3-month LIBOR.
Your rate will not increase more than once quarterly. Although the interest rate will vary after you are approved, the interest rate will never exceed 9.95% for the 5-year, 7-year, 10-year, 15-year, or 20-year term.
