Fixed or Variable Rate. What’s Right for You?

When you apply for RBC Royal Bank® personal loan, you could choose either a fixed or variable rate loan:

With a Fixed Rate Loan

  • You know for the duration of your loan the exact payment amount you will be making each month.
  • Your interest rate is locked in for the duration of your term–up to 5 years.
  • You could choose an amortiztion and payment schedule that meets your budget.
  • You could switch to variable rate loan or pre-pay your loan at any time without penalty.

With a Variable Rate Loan

  • Your interest rate is generally lower than rates offered by fixed rate loans.
  • Your interest rate is variable and will rise and fall with changes in the RBC prime rate.
  • If interest rates rise, your payments will likely stay the same, but your amortization term will increase.
  • If interest rates fall, your payments will stay the same and your amortization term will decrease, meaning you could pay off your loan sooner.
  • You can switch to a fixed rate loan or pre-pay your loan at any time without penalty.
