When refinancing a loan, you want to shorten your term or lower your rate to save money. Here’s why:
- A shorter term with a higher monthly payment will help you reach your long term goals by saving the most money over the life of the loan.
- The same, or longer, term with a lower rate will help you reach your short term goals by lowering your monthly payments.
Sometimes, you might even be able to shorten your loan term and lower your rate at the same time, maximizing the savings benefits in both instances! Find your loan term and rate below, then use the calculators to see if you can save money by refinancing with VSECU!
