Refinancing student loans has major benefits
Save Money
Refinancing your student loans with lower interest rates and better terms could save you thousands.
Lower Monthly Payments
When you refinance with a lower interest rate or longer payment terms your monthly payments could decrease.
Combine your loans into one
Keeping up with multiple payments on several loans can be difficult. With refinancing you can consolidate all your private student loans into one monthly payment.
Pay off your student loans faster
If you refinance your student loans with a shorter term you will pay off your loans faster.
Lower your interest rate
One of the major reasons to refinance is to get a lower interest rate than your original loans. This means you can save money and have lower payments.

Are you dissatisfied with your student loan servicer? Refinancing with us means you get a non-profit lender with a reputation for excellent customer service.

Refinancing Student Loan Disadvantages
We care about your financial future. It’s important to weigh all of the advantages and disadvantages of refinancing student loans. Here’s some reasons refinancing might not be right for you:
- Longer payment terms
If you refinance from a 10-year to a 20-year repayment plan your monthly payments will decrease but you will pay more total interest because you will be repaying for a longer period of time. - Paying more for your loans
We recommend you carefully research your loan refinancing options to make sure you are getting the best deal for your financial situation now and in the future. The interest rate and payment length will determine how much you end up paying for your loans. - Lose access to federal repayment plans
When you refinance you are taking out a new private loan. Refinancing payment terms will be less flexible than the many repayment plans offered on federal student loans. We encourage you to compare all of your options for repayment plans before you consider refinancing.
