Setting Up Step Up Rates

You can set up step up rates for fixed-rate loans on the Pricing Opportunity page.

You can specify different rates for different intervals over the life of a loan.
  1. Select Pricing > Pricing.

  3. Select View Pricing Opportunity.
    The Pricing Opportunity page opens.
  4. Expand the Rate Type panel.
  5. Define the Rate Type.
    For a new loan or a loan where the source is not the monthly update, a View link appears in the Step Up Rates field.
  6. Select View in the Step Up Rates field.
    The Step Up Rates page opens. The instrument's Expected Life shows for reference purposes.
  7. Select "" Add to define the initial interval.
  8. Enter a value in the Interval column.
  9. Select "" Add to set up subsequent or final step up rates as needed.
    Tip: You can add multiple rows. Each new row appears at the end of the table.
    1. Enter an Interval value for all rows and a Step Up Rate value for all subsequent intervals after the initial interval.
      Note: The sum of the Interval values must equal the instrument's Expected Life.
