Prodigy Finance offers unique variable rate student loan options, and it is made up in two parts such as,
- A fixed margin determined by Prodigy Finance
- A variable base rate that is decided by 3-months LIBOR (London InterBank Offered Rate)
- The fixed margin is determined based on the information you have put in the application form. The lowest possible variable interest rate in the recent times is 5.91% (assumes a 5.6% fixed margin + 0.2% 3-month LIBOR + 5% administration fee), and the current average rate is 10%
- The following formula is used by Prodigy to calculate variable simple interest: outstanding principal balance x (fixed margin + variable base rate) /365 x the days since your last transaction or days in the monthly cycle.
