Glossary

Annual Percentage Rate (APR)

The Annual Percentage Rate (APR) is the yearly interest rate that borrowers are charged on a sum of money. It is expressed as a percentage and represents the actual cost of funds over the term of a loan. This rate includes any fees or additional costs associated with the transaction but does not consider compounding. The APR is a helpful measure for consumers to compare among lenders as it provides a clear and standardized number.

Direct Federal is a not-for-profit, meaning that earnings are invested right back into the credit union. And that means Direct Federal can offer lower loan rates and higher deposit rates that you simply won't see anywhere else.
