Is the prime rate currently 4%? Or 4.25%?

[galahad15]

Does anyone know please if the prime rate is currently 4%?  Or 4.25%?  I haven't been following the news as much lately since have been extra-busy, but it looks like another Fed hike may have recently bumped the prime rate up again to at least 4%, if someone could very kindly please provide more info?

4.25%

In much less than the time it took OP to post, he could have googled "Prime rate" and got an instant answer

Yes I did google it earlier...however, the answer I got was somewhat ambiguous as whether it was 4% or 4.25% (because it was listed as a range), hence the question.

OK, use something like http://www.fedprimerate.com/, or WSJ or bankrate.com   They will be up to date

In the time it takes someone to post they could have googled the question they could have answered the question just the same. Oh wait, someone did

Ps, we are on a forum for a reason, not google

Yes - and I DO NOT use google. Google is good for those that are not concerned with being marked, categorized and sold.

I prefer alternatives that don't store and sell my on-line search behavior.

Or you could just do this:

I'll stick with Duck Duck Go as a search engine (on phone and PC). Not that I don't trust Google to delete all history - well actually I don't. I also don't use gmail and limit use of Google maps.

Kept my Yahoo email account (now part of Verizon which happens to be my cell phone service provider). I have Blackberry and keep my BB Classic locked down for the most part. Geo location turned off for all apps as a default. Use 3rd party browser (Browsie Browser) on my phone. Ads blocked, cookies and Java script disabled, history deletes on exit. If I want to watch a YouTube video or other video, I'll switch to a different browser app with other features enabled. I limit use with the other browsers as full functionality requires allowing some tracking and scripting.

Don't use Facebook or Twitter but I do have a LinkedIn account.
