is creating better
waystobonw.
whatever your reason for borrowing, and however you
prefer to borrow, Wachovia has new ways to lend you money
you won’t find anywhere else — ways that can offer you lower
interest rates and better terms.
^4khovia Bankline
Wachovia BankLine is a pereonal line of credit from $2,500
to $25,000 at rates that are determined monthly, based on
Wachovia’s prime rate*. BankLine is as easy to use as writing
a check. Your BankLine account costs you nothing to open,
and there are no annual fees.
The rate you pay is based on your credit line, not on the
amount you borrow.
cash you need for other purposes, without selling the securities.
You may borrow up to 50% (or more) of the market value of the
securities you own, simply by making a phone call.
A Wachovia margin account is easy to open. And you get
preferred interest rates based on Wachovia’s prime rate*. .
Under current North Carolina law you are protected by an
interest rate ceiling of 15% APR.
If your outstanding margin
loan balance is:
Up to $24,999
$25,000 to $49,999
$50,000 or more
Your rate is:
Prime -r 1%
Prime + ¥2%
Prime
If your line of credit is;
$10,000 or over
$ 5,000 to $9,999
' $ 2,500 to $4,999
Your rate is:
Prime + 1%
Prime + 1V2%
Prime -r '2 ¥2%
If the prime rate goes down, so does your interest rate.
But no matter how high the prime rate should go, under
present North Carolina law the maximum Annual Percentage
Rate (APR) you will be charged is 18%. The minimum rate
is 8% APR.
Mdiovia Prime-Plus
Installment Loans
Wachovia Prime-Plus Installment Loans offer initial
interest rates lower than our fixed-rate loans. And that means
lower payments.
The rate you pay is based on Wachovia’s prime lending
rate* and can vary monthly, but the amount of your payment
remains the same. Any changes in interest rates will result
in adjustments to the number of payments you make, not to
the monthly payment amount. If rates fall, your loan will be
paid off earlier. Rising rates may require additional payments.
You have the protection of an interest rate ceiling estab
lished at the time you take out your loan. So you’ll know in
advance both the maximum and minimum interest rate you
could be charged.

^^hovia Home Equity
I Your home is probably worth more than you
paid for it. Wachovia offers ways that you
can borrow from the equity you’ve built up, with affordable
monthly payments.
A Wachovia Home Equity Loan-is an excellent way to
borrow at favorable rates for major expenditures, such as
home improvements, education, or retirement property.
Your Personal Banker can help you decide on the terms and
options that fit your budget best. So when you think of
borrowing money, think about putting the money in your
home to work, with a Wachovia Home Equity Loan.

Whether you prefer a loan with a prime-based rate or a
fixed rate, Wachovia is your best loan source. No other lender
offers you a greater choice.

Stop by this week and talk over your credit needs in the
privacy of a Personal Banker’s office. Your Personal Banker
can explain our new lending options and help you decide on
the type of loan that suits you best. And your Personal Banker

prompt answer.
Before you borrow anywhere, ask a' Personal Banker about
the better ways, at Wachovia.
