Index

The index is a benchmark interest rate that reflects general market conditions. The index changes based on the market. Changes in the index, along with your loan’s margin, determine the changes to the interest rate for an adjustable-rate mortgage loan. Understand how the index factors into the interest rate for an adjustable-rate mortgage loan (c fpb.gov/askcfpb/1949).
