A borrower-facing employee is unsure what to do when an ad shows an interest rate but omits the APR presentation. What is the correct response?

Correct Answer

A) State the rate as an annual percentage rate

Lines 261-265 and 273-277; 12 CFR 1026.24(c). Closed-end credit advertising rules require the finance charge rate to be stated as an annual percentage rate. Therefore, the correct response is "State the rate as an annual percentage rate".

Answer Options
A
State the rate as an annual percentage rate
B
Continue the activity because the borrower appears willing to proceed.
C

Document the issue later instead of correcting the compliance problem first.
