CollegeSure Rates
CollegeSure CDs pay interest each year they remain outstanding at a variable interest rate equal to the prior July 31 college inflation rate, as measured by the College Board's Independent College 500® (IC500) Index change less an issue margin determined at the Contribution Date. The variable interest rate will be subject to a maximum rate (or cap) which is also determined at the Contribution Date. The interest rate will be reset on July 31 each year based on the change in the IC500 Index and the interest rate cap. The College Inflation Rate is 3.25%, as of July 31, 2016.
