The maximum term is 20 years. If the subject monthly payment is not automatically deducted from an East Cambridge Savings Bank checking/savings account, the rate will be Prime plus 0% for the life of the loan, subject to a minimum rate of 4.25% APR per annum and a maximum rate of 18.00% APR per annum.

Fixed Rate Conversion Option: Borrower has the option, at any time, during the draw period, to convert the interest rate on some or all of the outstanding principal balance from a variable rate to a fixed rate. The interest rate for each Option Amount shall be a fixed rate equal to the Prime Rate as published in the Wall Street Journal on the date ECSB receives the request plus 4.00% per annum or a lower promotional conversion rate offered at time of request. The minimum principal amount that may be converted is $10,000 and the maximum term is 15 years, provided it does not exceed the original maturity. Upon conversion, the maximum available under the agreement will be reduced by the principal amount converted to a fixed rate. Borrower may exercise the fixed rate option up to 3 times. The borrower shall pay a processing and documentation fee of $100 for each conversion.
