Repo Rate - also called Bank rate is the rate at which central banks lend loans to the member banks of a country. This rate actually impacts the rate at which these member banks grant loans to their customers

Reverse Repo Rate - is the reverse of repo rate and is the interest the central bank would pay its member banks.
