Different Futures
Future Forms Compared
The main difference between the future with 'will', and the future with 'going to' is that the future with 'will' is used for decisions made at the moment of speaking. In other words, use 'will' to express your reaction to a situation.

Hopefully the man will provide some collateral for the loans he plans to borrow.
I'm sure Kim will account for the market capitalization when she updates the report.
The future with 'going to', on the other hand, is used to make a statement about something you have decided before the moment of speaking.
Is the tech support department going to replace the defective pin pad today?
The Fed is going to adjust bank lending rates by the end of this week.
We are going to increase bank lending rates.
