Terms Used In Alaska Statutes 06.55.830

  • Fixed Rate: Having a "fixed" rate means that the APR doesn't change based on fluctuations of some external rate (such as the "Prime Rate"). In other words, a fixed rate is a rate that is not a variable rate. A fixed APR can change over time, in several circumstances:
    • You are late making a payment or commit some other default, triggering an increase to a penalty rate
    • The bank changes the terms of your account and you do not reject the change.
    • The rate expires (if the rate was fixed for only a certain period of time).
  • person: includes a corporation, company, partnership, firm, association, organization, business trust, or society, as well as a natural person. See Alaska Statutes 01.10.060
(b) If a money transmission licensee fixes, when the money transmission is initiated, the rate of exchange for a money transmission to be paid in the currency of another government, the receipt provided by (a) of this section must disclose the rate of exchange for the transaction and any limit on the length of time that the payment will be made at that fixed rate of exchange.
(c) If a money transmission licensee does not fix the rate of exchange for a money transmission to be paid in the currency of another government, the receipt provided under (a) of this section must disclose that the rate of exchange for the money transmission will be set when the person designated by the customer to receive the money takes possession of the money.
