Loan consolidation is the channel through which you can bring all your loans under one single policy and reduce the monthly payments by increasing the duration of the loan. Consolidation has loads of benefits, some being:

Lower rate of interest

Locking in loans at a lower interest rate

Lower monthly payments

Worrying about just one loan instead of many

Longer repayment schedule

Bear in mind that we are talking specifically about student loans. There is consolidation available from other type of loans too, but at EdFed we deal with only your student loans.

The logic behind consolidation is simple. consolidation merges all your loans and bills into one single payment. It reduces your (the borrower's) monthly bill of loan repayment. In simpler terms, think of it this way: If you have to pay $100 in 5 years, you pay $20 every year (ignoring any interest component), and if you have to pay the same $100 in 10 years, you pay $10 every year. And in certain cases, the monthly payment burden gets reduced, and the loan payment period also doesn't get increased. This is what consolidation does; it reduces your monthly expenditure on loan repayment and gives you that extra cash in hand.

Now to tell you a little bit more about the Student Consolidation Program. If your loan is eligible to be consolidated under this program (see the list below) then you don't have to worry about variable interest rates anymore. Under the Student Consolidation Program, the interest rates are fixed based on many technicalities such as the amount of loan outstanding, the interest rate currently paid, etc. This rate of interest would be fixed throughout the life of your loan. So no more watching the interest rate markets for fluctuations that can hamper your lifestyle.

Customer reviews

I was about two months away from graduation when I decided to look into consolidation. I called EdFed to see if they could get me started. I was surprised when they told me they would hold my application until my grace period was over, so I wouldn't have to make payments until 6 months after I graduated.
