Interest Rate Break for Employees
Answer by Andy Zavoina, BOL Guru BIO AND CONTACT INFO
Question: We would like to offer a benefit to our employees by allowing 1.00% off published interest rates. Would this be violating any regulations? Any effect on executive officers and Reg O?
Answer: A discounted employee loan rate is a common benefit.
215.4(a)(2) of Reg. O carves the exception for you to allow this for executives as well. You just have to ensure they aren't the only ones who can qualify.
