Government Guaranteed Loan Purchase Program

The Government Guaranteed Loan Purchase Program (FSA or Rural Development) has been designed at BND to provide interest rate assistance to borrowers that are experiencing cash flow difficulties.

Program Exceptions

FSA or Rural Development line of credit guarantees cannot be purchased. (Contract of Guarantee)

Application Process - Application by a lead lender is required for BND's participation. Application for additional documentation required when submitting a request to BND. Lead lender is responsible for servicing the loan.

Interest Rates

The originating lender's interest rate on their share of the loan may be variable or fixed regardless of BND's interest rate structure, and must be in compliance with FSA or Rural Development policy.

Quarterly Adjustable Rate: The net interest rate is BND's Guaranteed Variable Index, adjusted quarterly.

Five Year Adjustable Rate: The net interest rate is BND's Guaranteed Fixed Index, adjusted every five years.

Interest rates on loans in excess of $500,000 will be reviewed on a case by case basis.

BND establishes the initial interest rate and service fee on the portion it purchases at the time the loan is funded.


Repayment Terms

The terms of the loan are contingent upon the agreement set between the Borrower and FSA or Rural Development.

Fees

The originating lender may charge the Borrower an origination fee as may be allowed by FSA or Rural Development. In addition, the originating lender may receive an annual servicing fee on the guaranteed portion purchased by BND.

BND has a $250 commitment fee for each loan.
