4 Overview The rate you receive on a loan is the investment of the financial institution so factors such as liquidity risk, credit risk and default risk determine your final rate. The interest rate is comprised of three general areas and may differ by institution based on their own criteria such as: Product i.e. automobile, home equity, unsecured etc. Credit History/Credit Score Debt to Income Ratio Other factors i.e. length of employment, owner/renter, etc. With credit score illustrating your past credit ability and debt to income ratio as your current ability to repay the loan. 4 Copyright 2006
5 Product Rate The product rate is based on the liquidity nature of the loan product. For example, if the collateral is repossessed, it is easier to sell a car than a boat. Therefore, a new car will have a lower rate than a new boat. The interest rate for secured products are lower than unsecured products. In addition, even for secured products, rates may vary depending on age such as for vehicles. 5 Copyright 2006
