Should I Refinance My Student Loans?

Published March 2021

Americans collectively owe over $1.7 trillion in student loan debt, so it’s no surprise that many borrowers feel trapped by high student loan balances, interest rates, and overwhelming monthly payments. Refinancing your student loan can save you money on interest charges. Whether you’re dealing with federal student loans or private student loans, consider refinancing if your credit score qualifies for a lower interest rate.

Refinancing student loans is not the right move for everyone. For example, loans for people with bad credit may be limited. Also, should you go for a variable-rate loan or a fixed one? Whichever you choose, a student loan repayment plan can mean the difference between years of financial strain and a fast path to a loan-free life.

If you are unsure if refinancing your student loan is the best move for you, you should talk with a specialist from ClearOne to assess your possibilities and financial situation.
