* The Annual Percentage Rate (APR) is different from the actual interest rate if there are loan fees. The APR includes the loan fee and reflects the cost of your loan as a yearly rate. The APR calculation assumes a loan of $10,000, two disbursements 120 days apart, a fixed interest rate of 6.43% or a variable interest rate of 6.86%, a loan fee BND pays for you and a 10-year repayment term. The APR calculation also assumes that no payments are made by the consumer until 4.5 years (estimated in-school/grace period) after the first disbursement is made. Interest that accrues during in-school and grace periods (if not paid) is added to the balance when the loan enters repayment. **The variable interest rate will never exceed 10.00%.
