As with any loan, you'll need to pay interest on the amount of the margin loan. Margin interest rates are typically lower than credit cards and unsecured personal loans; however, you should do your own comparison.
The interest rate is variable based on a tiered schedule which is determined by the size of the margin loan. The higher your balance, the lower the rate you're charged.
