The M&T CHOICEquity Introductory variable Annual Percentage Rate (APR) of Prime [[PlusIntroMargin]] (currently [[IntroAPR]]) will apply only during the first six (6) billing cycles (“Introductory Period”) after your M&T CHOICEquity Account is opened. Thereafter, the APR, including the APR on any existing balance, will convert to the applicable non-discounted variable APR for the life of the line. Your Introductory and non-discounted variable APRs may vary monthly based on changes in the Prime Rate as published by The Wall Street Journal in its “Money Rates” table. Prime rate as of [[PrimeAsOf]] = [[PrimeRate]]. Your non-discounted variable APR will be between Prime  [[PlusLowMargin]] (currently [[LowAPR]] APR) and Prime  [[PlusHighMargin]] (currently [[HighAPR]] APR) for variable rate lines of credit between $15,000 and $1,000,000, with a maximum loan to value of 85.99%. Final APR is based on borrower credit profile (as reported to M&T by an outside reporting agency), loan to value(LTV), lien position, deposit relationship, line amount, and collateral state. APR will never be below the Minimum APR of [[MinAPR]] (after the expiration of the Introductory Period) or above the Maximum APR of [[MaxAPR]].

Accounts closed within 36 full calendar months of your opening date are subject to reimbursement of 3rd party fees paid in connection with establishing your account. These fees will range for line sizes up to $1,000,000 as follows by state:  [[EarlyClosingFeeList]].  These fees do not apply to PA properties.  Property insurance and flood insurance, if applicable, are required.  Other terms and conditions may apply.  Rates are subject to change.  M&T CHOICEquity accounts cannot be used to pay off existing M&T CHOICEquity or Home Equity accounts.
