BASKIN, Judge.
U.P.C. filed a claim for damages against Intercontinental Bank alleging usurious rates on an $897,000 loan. Upon Intercontinental's motion for judgment on the pleadings, the trial court entered final judgment for the Bank. The trial court found in part:
The loan was evidenced by a promissory note dated March 8, 1979 and was secured by a mortgage.
3. The usury law to be applied by a court is the law in effect at the time the court renders it [sic] decision unless the act itself provides otherwise. See
Tel Service Co. v. General Capital Corporation, 227 So.2d 667 (Fla. 1969).
4. The present Usury Act, Section 687.03 F.S.F.S.A. (1980) condemns as usurious as applied to loans in excess of $500,000.00 only those loans wherein excess of 25% per annum is charged.
5. The Act provides that it:
`Shall apply only to loans, advances of credit or lines of credit made on or subsequent to July 1, 1979 and to loans, advances of credit or lines of credit made prior to that date if the lender has the legal right to require full payment or to adjust or modify the interest rate by renewal, assumption, reaffirmation, contracts, or otherwise. . .'
6. The loan in question is a variable interest rate loan. It provides interest shall not be less than 11% per annum and shall be computed at the rate of 2% above INTERCONTINENTAL BANK Prime. The note provides:
`"ICB Prime" shall be defined to mean that rate of interest charged by Intercontinental Bank on so-called short term unsecured loans to its most credit-worthy customers, as the said "rate of interest" shall be determined by Intercontinental Bank at its sole discretion. The rate of interest based on ICB Prime shall be calculated and adjusted monthly so that the rate of interest applicable to any day of the month during the term of this note shall be 2% plus the highest ICB Prime in effect during such month. . .'
This Court finds that the loan in question gave the lender the right to modify the interest rate by contract during the term of the loan. As such, it falls within the provisions of Section 787.03(5)(a) [sic] F.S.F.S.A. (1980) above quoted. The loan is subject to the present Usury Act and since it does not exceed 25%, it is not usurious.
We agree with the trial court's findings and affirm the final judgment.
