More Banks Trim Prime Rate
NEW YORK — Following the lead of Wells Fargo Bank of San Francisco, a number of U.S. banks, including Citibank, the nation’s largest, today lowered their prime interest rates from 8% to 7.5%. The rates were lowered after the Federal Reserve cut its discount rate, the amount it charges banks to borrow money, from 6% to 5.5%.
Other banks cutting their prime included: No. 3 Chase Manhattan, No. 5 Morgan Guaranty Trust, Continental Illinois National Bank and Trust, Bank of New York, First National Bank of Chicago and Mitsui Manufacturers Bank of Los Angeles.
