Alert
Before refinancing your existing federal student loans, please carefully consider current federal benefits. Due to COVID-19, the Federal Government is offering benefits that only apply to certain federal student loans. These unique federal benefits will no longer apply if you refinance your existing federal loans with a private lender like College Ave.

Make Your Payments Work For You

Rate Options

Fixed Rate

Interest rate does not change for the life of the loan

Keypoints
  • Fixed interest rate will not increase or decrease
  • You know payment amount and total cost up front
Variable Rate

Interest rate changes based on changes to a market index (e.g., LIBOR)

Keypoints
  • Variable interest rate is likely cheaper to start, you should consider your personal tolerance for the risk that it could go up (or down)
  • You benefit if the interest rate index remains the same or decreases

  1. The 0.25% auto-pay interest rate reduction applies as long as the borrower or cosigner, if applicable, enrolls in auto-pay and authorizes our loan servicer to automatically deduct your monthly payments from a valid bank account via Automated Clearing House (“ACH”). The rate reduction applies for as long as the monthly payment amount is successfully deducted from the designated bank account and is suspended during periods of forbearance and certain deferments. Variable rates may increase after consummation.
  2. $5,000 is the minimum requirement to refinance. The maximum loan amount is $300,000 for those with medical, dental, pharmacy or veterinary doctorate degrees, and $150,000 for all other undergraduate or graduate degrees. Information advertised valid as of 12/14/2020. Variable interest rates may increase after consummation.
