FAQs for Valdese borrowers
Student Loans questions, answered.
Should I refinance federal loans?
Maybe. Refinancing forfeits federal protections (PSLF, IDR, deferment). It's the right call only if you don't expect to use them and the new rate saves real money.
What credit do I need?
Most lenders look for 670+ and a debt-to-income ratio under 50%. A co-signer can help if you don't qualify alone.
Are there fees?
No origination fees or prepayment penalties on student loan refinance through our network.
How much can I save?
Borrowers refinancing from 7%+ rates typically save $100–$300/month and tens of thousands over the life of the loan.
