COSI - cost of savings index.

This loan can be used for a purchase or a COSI refinance. This unique home loan is based on the most stable lending index in America, the COSI (cost of savings index). The Margin is the only variable aspect of this adjustable rate mortgage. This is why the index so important. The COSI index has remained low and stable because, it is not
based on the fluctuating economy.

The COSI index represents the average of interest rates certain banks pay to common customers on checking, savings and CD accounts. The COSI Index consists mainly upon yields of bank's CDs in the 11th District. Hence, the PRIME rate really doesn't affect the Index. These loans are extremely stable because the Credit Unions and Banks have NOT dramatically increased the interest rates on what they pay back to the consumer on checking, savings, money market accounts and C/D's.

 

The COSI index is published monthly on the 16th of every month or the closest business day to the 16th.
