*Weighted average interest rate savings is based on 22,597 Education Refinance Loan customers who lowered their interest rate on loans between February 1, 2018 and February 10, 2019. The calculation is derived by averaging the rate savings across Education Refinance Loan customers whose interest rates decreased after refinancing, calculated by taking the weighted average interest rate prior to refinancing minus the interest rate after refinancing. We excluded rate savings from customers that exceeded 18.50% and were lower than 0.25%  to minimize risk of data error skewing the rate savings amounts.  The borrower’s interest rate savings might vary based on the interest rates they qualify for, chosen terms and previous interest rate of the loans they are seeking to refinance. The borrower’s overall interest rate may be higher than the interest rate on the loans they are refinancing even if their monthly payments are lower.

1Estimated average savings amount is based on 14,659 Education Refinance Loan customers who saved on loans between August 1, 2017 and July 31, 2018.  The calculation is derived by averaging monthly savings across Education Refinance Loan customers whose payment amounts decreased after refinancing, calculated by taking the monthly payment prior to refinancing minus the monthly payment after refinancing. We excluded monthly savings from customers that exceeded $4,375 and were lower than $20  to minimize risk of data error skewing the savings amounts. Savings will vary based on interest rates, balances and remaining repayment term of loans to be refinanced.  Borrower’s overall repayment amount may be higher than the loans they are refinancing even if monthly payments are lower.
