Benefits of Refinancing Your Student Loans
Refinancing student loans could offer several benefits for borrowers, these include:
Lower interest rates
You could qualify for a lower interest rate when you refinance, especially if your credit has improved since originally borrowing. Lower interest rates can help you save over the life of the loan.
Lower payments
Refinancing can reduce your monthly payment amount. With a lower interest rate or extending the repayment term, you can potentially decrease your monthly payment obligation.
Easier loan management
Refinancing combines multiple loans into a single loan with one payment, one due date, and one servicer.
Frequently Asked Questions About Student Loan Refinancing

Yes. Refinancing federal loans turns them into private loans.
Consolidating student loan debt involves combining multiple loans into one. Refinancing means obtaining a new loan to replace existing loans, often with a lower interest rate. Consolidation focuses on how the payment is made, while refinancing aims to secure better loan terms and potential savings. Consolidation is available for both federal and private loans, while refinancing is primarily for private loans, with federal loan refinancing resulting in the loss of federal benefits.

When refinancing student loans, there are two types of interest rates to consider: fixed and variable.
