"POINTS UP FRONT" (PREPAID FINANCE CHARGES Nowadays, it is almost the norm to have to pay some finance charges up front in order to secure a loan, especially a mortgage. In the U.S., the FHA (Federal Housing Act) rates are well known for their dependence on the "points" that you are willing to pay up front. These "points" are percentage points. The more percentage points of the borrowed money you are willing to pay at the onset of the loan, the lower the rate will be that is used to calculate your payment. Prepaid finance charges or "points up front" have the effect of increasing the actual interest rate that is paid on the borrowed money. These prepaid finance charges reduce the net amount of money borrowed up front, without reducing the payment. This is not the same as a "down payment," which reduces both the money borrowed and the payment amount.
