Important Notice: Subprime Mortgage, also known as B-paper, near-prime, or second chance lending, is lending at a higher rate than the Prime Rate. In the US, the term "Subprime" in mortgage lending refers to loans that do not meet Fannie Mae or Freeddie Mac guidelines.

While often defined or defended as lending to borrowers with Compromised Credit Histories, The Wall Street Journal reported in 2006, 61% of all borrowers receiving Subprime Loans had Credit Score High Enough to Qualify for Prime Conventional Loans.
