Answer #2

Prime Lending Rate, is a term applied in many countries to a reference interest rate used by banks.

In the US, the prime rate runs approximately 300 basis points (or 3 percentage points) above the federal funds rate (currently ranged between 0.25% and 0.50%), the interest rate that banks charge to each other for overnight loans made to fulfill reserve funding requirements.

Currently the Prime Rate is 3.25%. It’s very low.

Hope this answered your question! 8D
