A Fannie Mae approved lender.
Checking your rate will not affect your credit score✝.
How It Works
Start saving money on your mortgage—all while leveraging home equity to pay off existing student debt.1 Now that’s a win-win.
SoFi consolidates your student loans with your existing mortgage.
Then refinances the total amount at a lower rate (with an LTV limit of 80%).
Your student loan balance is simultaneously paid off, directly to the servicer.
