Fixed or Variable Rate Financing

You can select a payment term and frequency that works for you, with either fixed or variable rate financing to suit your needs.

  • Fixed Rate
    A fixed rate of interest gives you the security of knowing how much you're paying with each payment during the term of your loan. This means you're paying the same amount, whether you want to pay with regular monthly, semi-monthly weekly, rapid weekly, biweekly or rapid biweekly payments.
  • Variable Rate
    A variable rate gives you a set monthly payment but an interest rate that can change during the entire term of the loan. If rates go down, you can pay off your loan faster. If interest rates increase, more of your regular payment goes toward the interest and it may take you longer to pay off your loan.
