*Weighted average interest rate savings based on the difference in interest rate provided by 23,444 actual customers who lowered their interest rate by refinancing and the interest rate they received by refinancing their federal and private student loans through our Education Refinance Loan between January 1, 2017 and December 31, 2017. 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.

1Average savings based on 18,113 actual customers who refinanced their federal and private student loans through our Education Refinance Loan between January 1, 2017 and December 31, 2017. The calculation is derived by averaging the monthly savings of Education Refinance Loan customers whose payments decreased after refinancing, which is calculated by taking the monthly student loan payments prior to refinancing minus the monthly student loan payments after refinancing. The borrower’s savings might vary based on the interest rates, balances and remaining repayment term of the loans they are seeking to refinance. The borrower’s overall repayment amount may be higher than the loans they are refinancing even if their monthly payments are lower.

2 Average savings of $643 are calculated using the 2016/2017 Award Year Federal Direct PLUS Loan program reporting (as of 5/03/2017 for quarter ending December 31, 2016 not including Grad PLUS) of originations of ~$11.1 billion to 740,097 borrowers through 769,597 loans with an average loan size of $15,035.30. Average fee savings is possible with either private student loan option we offer, including the Citizens Bank Student Loan® or the Citizens Bank Student Loan® for Parents.
