RATE TYPES

More than a Number

The Bank of Canada’s Prime Rate influences variable and adjustable interest rates. The Prime Rate is reviewed eight times per calendar year, at which point the bank may choose to lower, raise, or keep the pace the same.

Fixed Rate

Fixed Interest Rates are mainly determined by the bond market and set at the term's beginning. They cannot change during the term, meaning your payments will stay the same until the terms end.

Variable Rate

Variable Interest Rates (VRM) are fixed mortgage payments. The amount you pay towards your mortgage principal will fluctuate based on changes to the prime rate. This is also known as a 'Negative Amortized Variable Rate Mortgage.'

Adjustable Rate

On the other hand, adjustable Interest Rates (ARM) will increase or decrease along with changes in the Prime Rate. The adjustable approach is preferred by many because there is no change in your amortization schedule, and you see its benefits firsthand.
