Industry News

An indirect auto loan is where a car dealership acts as an intermediary between the bank or financial institution and the consumer. Supporters of this change claimed that it would reduce student loan interest rates. The financial institution, however, is given security — a lien on the title to the house — until the mortgage is paid off in full.

As a consequence, loan repayments are only made when the former student has income to support the repayments. Discounts are available for early repayment.

Scholars have criticized IBR plans on the grounds that they create moral hazard and suffer from adverse selection. Conversely, if it is undersubscribed even at LIBOR+275, then the arranger will be forced to raise the spread to bring more money to the table.
