Refinancing Your Loan
Lots of things can change in the years after you obtain a loan: interest rates can drop, your financial situation can shift, and the loan terms you originally signed up for may not be ideal for you anymore. Luckily, refinancing your loan may help put you in a better financial position to pay off your debt.
What Is Refinancing?
Refinancing is the process of replacing an existing loan (like a mortgage or auto loan) with a new one. While refinancing doesn’t erase your debt, it could help you get:
- A lower interest rate
- Better terms
- A lower monthly payment
- A shorter loan term
Improving on your current loan could help you save money, and you could even use your equity to consolidate other higher-interest debt, such as credit cards and unsecured loans.

You will need to have the following information available:
| For auto loans: |
