BNY has announced a decrease in its Prime Lending Rate by 0.50 percentage points, from 8.50% to 8.00%. This change will take effect on Thursday, September 19, 2024. The Prime Lending Rate serves as an important benchmark for banks in determining interest rates on various loans, including credit cards, mortgages and business loans.
The reduction in the Prime Lending Rate could lower borrowing costs for both consumers and businesses, making loans more accessible. This change might also influence interest rates on savings accounts and certificates of deposit. The decision to lower the rate is likely shaped by various economic factors and monetary policy considerations.
