Should I Refinance My Student Loans?

Refinancing your student loans could help you pay off your loans sooner or save on your monthly payment, but every student loan situation is unique. Here are some things to consider before deciding if you should refinance:

Pros

One loan with one simple payment means less paperwork and hassle
Potentially save money on interest and lower long-term debt
Potentially lower your payment to help with monthly cash flow

Cons

Potential loss of certain borrower benefits associated with federal student loans‡
Payments could be extended over a longer repayment term in exchange for a lower monthly payment
Shortening the repayment term (which may reduce interest paid) could raise your monthly payment

IMPORTANT: The Biden administration recently announced that federal student loan payments will resume after 12/31/2022, along with measures related to debt cancellation and income-based repayment. Learn more by contacting your federal student loan servicer, visiting studentaid.gov or reading our blog post. NOTE: These measures are strictly tied to federal student loans and have no impact on private student loans.

Eligibility Requirements:

To be eligible to refinance your student loans, you must have graduated from an approved school‡‡ and be a member of the credit union from which you choose to borrow. You may apply without being a member of the credit union, but you will need to become a member in order for the loan to be funded.
College graduates who are:

U.S. citizens or permanent residents who have graduated from an approved public or private not-for-profit school (a bachelor’s degree is the minimum required)
At least the age of majority in your state of residence. Please note, in most states, you must be at least 18 years old. You must be 19 years old in Alabama. You must be 21 years old in Mississippi and Puerto Rico. If you are not the age of majority in your state you may qualify with a cosigner who is or other unique circumstance that would allow you to qualify.
In repayment or grace on one or more outstanding private or federal student loans
Able to meet underwriting criteria (a cosigner may be necessary and may also help you qualify for a lower rate)

‡By refinancing federal student loans, you may lose certain borrower benefits from your original loans. These may include interest rate discounts, principal rebates, or some cancellation benefits that can significantly reduce the cost of repaying your loans. ‡‡Approved schools subject to change without notice.

Our credit union partners’ private student lending solutions help fill funding gaps left after you’ve exhausted lower-cost sources of aid such as scholarships, grants, and federal student loans.

Convenient and Flexible College Funding

It’s different than a traditional loan! Nearly all of our credit union partners offer a private education line of credit that will allow you to secure funding for your entire undergraduate or graduate career with just one application.* In future years you simply request funds from your line (called a “draw”) for the amount you need – no need to reapply! And with convenient terms and no payments required while you’re fully enrolled, we’ll help you successfully manage repayment after college.

Eligibility Requirements:

To be eligible for a private education line of credit, you must be enrolled in a degree-granting program at an approved school** and be a member of the credit union from which you choose to borrow. You may apply without being a member of the credit union, but you will need to become a member in order for the loan to be funded.

*Subject to credit qualification and annual review. Must meet school's Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP) requirements. ** Approved schools subject to change without notice.

In order to apply for a loan, you must first pick an individual credit union from which you wish to borrow. You can apply for the loan without being a member of the credit union you select, but you will need to become a member of that credit union in order to receive a funded loan. Therefore, it's important that you select a credit union that you will be eligible to join. Credit union membership requirements can include where you live, work, or attend school. Results are based on membership criteria provided by individual credit unions and do not imply a guarantee regarding accuracy or eligibility to join the listed credit union(s).

Calculations are based on the lowest possible rate and available repayment terms per lender. Rate estimates are based on credit information entered by the user and will not impact your credit. During the application process, a hard credit inquiry will be performed to provide exact rate information. Repayment calculations assume immediate full repayment. View the full range of rates and terms by visiting your credit union's website using links listed for each credit union above.

Using the free student loan refinance calculator does not constitute an offer to receive a loan and will not solicit a loan offer. Any payments and savings will depend on the actual amounts for which you are approved, should you choose to apply. This calculator is provided for educational purposes only and should not be relied upon as financial advice. Always consult your credit union or financial advisor when making your decision.

IMPORTANT NOTICE for refinance borrowers: By refinancing federal student loans, you may lose certain borrower benefits from your original loans. These may include interest rate discounts, principal rebates, or some cancellation benefits that can significantly reduce the cost of repaying your loans. Please review this important disclosure for more information.

Your actual rate within the range stated will be disclosed upon approval. Student borrowers may apply with a creditworthy cosigner which may result in a better chance of approval and/or interest rate.
