What is the interest rate for high credit scores and the differences in rates? If one is prime rate. Credit score above 780. Are the final interest rates they quote you lower than what is advertise on their website? I am considering using a mortgage broker however their rates seem higher than the bank + the cost seems higher. If the rate is what they advertise, I might just go to the bank directly first and save my time. The mortgage broker seems to be on top of things and most likely have better info on closing etc. which is their only selling point but if the interest rate is higher than the competitor I am reluctant to go with it since they will hit my credit score if I apply. Simply put money is money a little .25% can equal 60K over the life of the loan. Something that could sit in investment generating returns for me. In general what is the difference in the interest rate for prime/ A credit scores? Are the advertised rates using prime rates or just average rates? Thanks in advance

How can the overnight call rates be so low compared to the market interest rate? When the RBI has a repo rate of 6% and a reverse repo rate of 7.5%, one would expect the overnight call rate among the banks to be somewhere between 6% and 7.5%. I believe the current very low levels of the call rate is because of the RBI using the repo window to suck liquidity only to a limited extent of Rs 3000 crore / day. What i dont understand is how the call rates can be as low as 1% (the 1% is for interest charged per annum right?). Isnt this cheap money for the banks then? Why not borrow cheap and park them in treasury bonds or liquid mutual funds? How can the overnight call rate be far off from the market interest rate irrespective of the repo and reverse repo rates and the amount of money the RBI actually does borrow from the commercial banks?
