IMPORTANT: Interest and payments on federal student loans have resumed. Visit studentaid.gov for details.

Should I refinance my student loans?

Refinancing your student loans (such as private, federal, and PLUS) could help you lower your rate, adjust your payment, or pay them off sooner. Just remember, when you refinance federal student loans into a private refi loan, you'll lose access to any current or future federal benefits, such as potential debt cancellation or income-driven repayment options.
