INTRODUCTION
This is a Pricing Supplement. It describes the Fixed Rate Notes
being issued under the Medium Note Program of IBM Credit Corporation.
This document adds to, or 'supplements' the description of the Notes
referred to in the accompanying Prospectus Supplement and Prospectus.
It does so by providing specific information about the Notes issued in
this particular transaction. This Pricing Supplement also amends the
Prospectus Supplement and Prospectus to the extent that the description
of the Notes in this Pricing Supplement is different from the terms
which are set forth in the Prospectus Supplement and Prospectus.
INTEREST
Interest on the Notes will be calculated based on a year of 360 days
consisting of 12 months of 30 days each.
If any payment of principal or interest is due on a day that is
not a Business Day, that payment may be made on the next day which is
a Business Day. No additional interest will accrue as a result of the
delay in payment. For purposes of this offering, the term "Business Day"
means each day on which commercial banks and foreign exchange markets
settle payments in The City of New York. We have capitalized a number
of terms in this document. If you do not see a definition for those
terms in this document, those terms will have the meanings which we have
already given to them in the Prospectus Supplement and the Prospectus.
REDEMPTION
The Notes are redeemable by the Company on each Interest Payment
Date occurring on or after February 2, 2001 in whole but not in part,
on at least 30 days notice at a redemption price of 100% of the principal
amount thereof, plus accrued interest theron to the date of redemption.
PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION
The Notes will be sold to Salomon Smith Barney Inc. at the Issue Price
set forth at the top of this Pricing Supplement. Salomon Smith Barney
Inc., in turn, will resell the Notes to investors at varying prices, which
prices may be subject to prevailing market conditions at the time of
resale.
