![]() View Disclosures Lifetime interest savings of $20,657 is a hypothetical calculation and may not be representative of your actual situation. The savings calculation assumes an original loan amount of $65,000 with a 10-year term and a rate of 7.15%, refinanced to a shorter, 5-year term with a fixed rate of 3.25% APR, which is PenFed’s lowest available 5-year fixed rate as of 7/1/2018. The calculation also assumes no pre-payment amounts and on-time payments for the duration of the refinanced term. Not all applicants will qualify for the lowest rate as they are reserved for the most creditworthy applicants. Your actual savings may vary based on interest rates, balances, remaining repayment term and other factors.
Annual Percentage Rate (APR) is the cost of credit calculating the interest rate, loan amount, repayment term and the timing of payments.

Variable rates currently from 2.31% APR (with AutoPay) to 7.61% (without AutoPay). Interest rates on variable rate loans are capped at either 8.95% or 9.95% depending on term of loan. See APR examples and terms. Lowest variable rate of 2.31% APR assumes current 1 month LIBOR rate of 2.31% plus 0.75% margin minus 0.25% for AutoPay. If approved for a loan, the fixed or variable interest rate offered will depend on your credit history and the term of the loan and will be within the ranges of rates listed above. For the SoFi variable rate loan, the 1-month LIBOR index will adjust monthly and the loan payment will be re-amortized and may change monthly. APRs for variable rate loans may increase after origination if the LIBOR index increases. The SoFi 0.25% AutoPay interest rate reduction requires you to agree to make monthly principal and interest payments by an automatic monthly deduction from a savings or checking account. The benefit will discontinue and be lost for periods in which you do not pay by automatic deduction from a savings or checking account.

Federal Loan Alternatives and Disclosure Regarding Benefits You may be able to consolidate your outstanding federal loans into a Federal Direct Consolidation Loan. The current interest rate for a Federal Direct Consolidation Loan is the weighted average of the interest rates being consolidated rounded up to the nearest one-eighth of one percent. Think carefully before taking out a loan with Education Loan Finance, the education loan refinance program offered by SouthEast Bank, to pay off your federal loans. If you refinance your federal loans through Education Loan Finance, you will not be able to select income contingent repayment or other flexible payment plans that are available to federal student loan borrowers. In addition, federal student loans offer deferment and forbearance options that may not be available to you if you take out a loan with Education Loan Finance. Private education loans are not eligible to be included in a Federal Direct Consolidation Loan. See http://studentaid.ed.gov/types/loans/federal-vs-private for a description of the benefits and repayment options available to federal student loan borrowers. Next Steps 1. Find out about other options. The Federal Direct Consolidation Loan may have student loan benefits and terms not detailed on this form.

Do Lenders Charge an Upfront Fee to Refinance Medical Student Loans?
‣ In some cases, lenders will charge an origination or “obligation fee”. Most of if not all of the lenders we have partnered with on this site do not a have any type of fees associated with their loans. This means that you will not see any surprises when you see your next bill after choosing to refinance your medical student loans or any initial sneaky fees that you may not have known about prior to refinancing.
Will I be Required to Make Payments During Residency or a Fellowship?
‣ Almost all lenders will require for you to make some type of payment during your time in residency or fellowship. Back in 2009, there was a bill that allowed for you to put off paying back your student loans until you finished your residency or fellowship. This bill has since been eliminated. The best way to know for sure is to reach out to the lender who you are looking to go with and see what their terms are. Many of the lenders we showcase offer a great list of tools and even discounts for things like auto-payment from your bank account.
Will The Lender Help You Through Financial Hardship?
‣ One of the most common questions you will want to ask your lender is how they will help you in the case of financial hardship. Each of the lenders featured on this site have varying financial hardship programs and you will want to consult your lender to determine which program will work best for you and your situation prior to selecting the lender. These programs can be a huge help if you have an unfortunate situation such as job loss or other financial mishaps.
When Do You Have To Start Making Payments?
‣ One of the most important things you need to get clear with your lender off the bat is when you are expected to make your first payment. In most cases, there is no grace period and once the loan has been funded the lender will expect you to pay. Be sure when you are working with your lender to ask how long it will take for your previous loans to be paid and when you should expect your first loan payment. If setting up automatic payments is import to you, your lender will generally be able to provide you with guidelines as to when you can expect to make your first payment as well as setting up auto-pay.
Can You Release Your Cosigner?
‣ One of the biggest questions you should consider when looking for a lender is if they offer co-signer release. If you may not qualify initially for refinancing based on your own income or credit, you may have the opportunity to use a co-signer. All of our lending partners allow for users to use a co-signer, not only will this help you get approved but it may also lead to you getting a lower monthly payment due to your co-signers credit score and work history among other factors considered. Getting approved is great, but your co-signer will also want to know the terms of their agreement and at what point they can be removed from the loan. Before using a co-signer be sure to ask the lender about their practices with co-signers. Some allow for them to be released after just 12 months while others may not release until 24 months has been completed.
