At August 31, 2016, the weighted average interest rate on short-term borrowings outstanding is 1.47% per annum. Average daily short-term borrowings outstanding were $414.4 million and $372.3 million for the three and nine months ended August 31, 2016, respectively, and $18.5 million and $44.9 million for the three and nine months ended August 31, 2015, respectively. Bank loans are typically overnight loans used to finance financial instruments owned or clearing related balances, but are not part of our systemic funding model and generally bear interest at a spread over the federal funds rate.
On April 8, 2016, May 3, 2016 and July 29, 2016, under our $2.0 billion Euro Medium Term Note Program, we issued floating rate puttable notes with principal amounts of €30.0 million, €11.0 million and €50.0 million, respectively. These notes are puttable three months after the issuance date.
On February 19, 2016, we entered into a demand loan margin financing facility (“Demand Loan Facility”) in a maximum principal amount of $25.0 million to satisfy certain of our margin obligations. Interest is based on an annual rate equal to weighted average LIBOR as defined in the Demand Loan Facility agreement plus 150 basis points. There were no borrowings outstanding at August 31, 2016.
On October 29, 2015, we entered into a secured revolving loan facility (“Secured Revolving Loan Facility”) whereby the lender agrees to make available a revolving loan facility in a maximum principal amount of $50.0 million in U.S. dollars to purchase eligible receivables that meet certain requirements as defined in the Secured Revolving Loan Facility agreement. Interest is based on an annual rate equal to the lesser of the LIBOR rate plus three and three-quarters percent or the maximum rate as defined in the Secured Revolving Loan Facility agreement.
The Bank of New York Mellon agrees to make revolving intraday credit advances ("Intraday Credit Facility") for an aggregate committed amount of $300.0 million in U.S. dollars. The Intraday Credit Facility contains a financial covenant, which includes a minimum regulatory net capital requirement. Interest is based on the higher of the Federal funds effective rate plus 0.5% or the prime rate. At August 31, 2016, we were in compliance with debt covenants under the Intraday Credit Facility.
