Why Refinance Student Loans?
Depending on how long you’ve been out of school, your annual income and credit history is likely to have improved. By refinancing your existing student loans you may see a dramatic reduction in your interest rate – even a few points. With only a few exceptions, it is generally advisable for all student debt holders to at least explore a refinancing scenario, especially since getting your rate through LendKey’s platform will have no impact on your credit score2.
Refinancing Calculator
Our fast and easy student loan refinancing calculator lets you plug in your remaining loan balance and existing monthly payments so you can quickly figure out whether refinancing your student loans can improve your finances.
Federal and Private Student Loans
Consolidate Federal and Private Student Loans5
With LendKey’s student loan consolidation and refinancing, you can combine your federal and private student loans into one convenient payment with a lower interest rate. That could help you better manage your finances, and save over the lifetime of your loan.
Variable Rate vs. Fixed Rate Student Loans
Whether you choose a fixed or variable rate, it's always important to remember to pick a loan that is right for you and your particular financial situation. Remember that interest rates could rise higher than the past highs. If you're comfortable assuming a little more risk in your payment amount, a variable rate loan does have the potential to offer more savings.
