IMPORTANT: Federal student loan payments and interest are set to resume no later than June 30, 2023, pending the outcome of legal challenges to the Biden Administration’s proposed federal student loan debt cancellation measures. For details on these measures, which are strictly tied to federal student loans and have no impact on private student loans, visit studentaid.gov. Carefully consider your options before refinancing federal student loans, as they will no longer qualify for current and future federal benefits once refinanced with a private lender.

Should I refinance my student loans?

By lowering your interest rate or leveraging a better repayment term, refinancing your student loans (such as private, federal, and/or PLUS loans) could help you save money in the long run or pay them off sooner. Make sure to remember that if you refinance some or all of your federal student loans into a private student loan with the credit union, you will lose access to any current or future federal student loan benefits, such as potential debt cancellation or income-driven repayment options. With the recent announcement from the Biden administration, it’s more important than ever to evaluate your options if you have federal student loans so that you can make educated decisions.
