fixed APR

Stable interest percentage

A fixed APR is an annual percentage rate on a loan or credit card that remains constant over time, as opposed to a variable APR that fluctuates with market conditions.

The term is somewhat misleading—credit card issuers can still change a "fixed" rate with advance notice; it simply won't adjust automatically with an index: The card offers a fixed APR of 18.9%.
