P.S. Rate Effective February 15, 2004. The maximum APR is 18%, but in order for this to happen the Prime rate would need to increase to at least 16%, which hasn't happened for 20 years!

These will be based on your loan's credit line limit and can range from $0.10 to $2.00 per $100.00. We can give you a list of these fees. Just ask.
