Bank of Canada Prime Interest Rate October 25, 2011

The Bank of Canada announced earlier this morning that they will leave the bank prime rate set at 1.0% This is the prime rate given to banks, not the public.

The prime rate for consumers will remain at 3.0%

This is welcome news for people who hold mortgages or loans or are desiring to obtain a loan, rates will remain low for the foreseeable future.

I wish you all the best!

PS: The major banks in Canada charge their best customers 2% above the Bank of Canada Prime Rate, which means that the Bank Prime or Prime Rate that we see is now 2.75%

Bank Prime Rate means "best" and this is the rate that banks charge their absolute best customers for loans, which is usually only other lending institutions.
