Capped loans
With a capped loan, the borrower pays the floating rate or the cap rate, whichever is the cheaper on each applicable interest payment date:
- When the floating rate is lower than the cap rate, the borrower pays the floating rate.
- When the floating rate is higher than the cap rate, the borrower pays the cap rate.
Capped loans and mortgages are created by combining a normal floating rate or fixed rate loan with a cap or a floor. More here
