Is the annual percentage rate usually lower than the actual interest rate on the loan?
The actual interest rate on a mortgage will always be higher than the annual percentage rate unless the borrower keeps the loan for the full term. Refinancing or selling before the end of the term results in a much higher actual (effective) interest rate. The effective rate on a mortgage can be lower than the annual percentage rate (fixed rate) by paying extra to principal especially early in the mortgage term.

How nominal interest rate and effective interest rate are charged in a savings account?
The nominal interest rate is the stated annual interest rate on a savings account, not accounting for the effects of compounding. The effective interest rate, on the other hand, reflects the actual interest earned over a year, considering the frequency of compounding (e.g., monthly, quarterly). For example, if interest is compounded monthly, the effective interest rate will be higher than the nominal rate, as interest is calculated on previously earned interest. When choosing a savings account, it's essential to consider both rates to understand the true return on your investment.
