1. Brazos Parent Loan fixed rates from % APR to % APR (with Auto-Pay Discount). Variable rates from % APR to % APR (with Auto-Pay Discount). Interest rates on Brazos loans are capped at 9.90%. The Variable Rate is based on an Index of the greater of the (A) 30-Day Average SOFR or the (B) forward looking term rate based on SOFR, plus a Margin. The lowest variable rate APR displayed is based upon the current SOFR Index of % plus a % Margin, minus the Auto-Pay Discount. The Variable Rate will adjust monthly and the loan payment will be re-amortized and may change monthly. Not all borrowers receive the lowest rate. If approved for a Brazos Parent Loan, the fixed or variable interest rate offered will depend on your creditworthiness, the term of the loan and other factors, and will be within the ranges of rates listed above. For the variable rate Brazos Parent loan, the SOFR index will adjust monthly and the loan payment will be re-amortized and may change monthly. APRs for variable rate loans may increase after origination if the SOFR index increases.
Auto-Pay Discount. The interest rate in effect will be reduced by 0.25% if either the borrower or the cosigner authorizes automated (ACH) payments from any bank account. This ACH interest rate reduction, referred to as the Auto-Pay Discount, applies only when full principal and interest payments are automatically drafted from a bank account. This interest rate reduction will not continue to apply during periods of approved forbearance or deferment. The Auto-Pay Discount will terminate if the automatic bank account payments discontinue or there are any three instances of insufficient funds at any time during the term of the loan. A borrower may requalify upon reauthorization of automatic payments from a valid bank account.
