Figure Lending Suspends Student Loan Refinance Program
Figure lending no long refinances student loans, but will continue servicing its existing customers' loans.
Figure Lending stopped offering student loan refinancing in May 2020. While the lender will continue to service its existing refinanced loans, it isn’t accepting new applications for student loan refinancing.
Figure started refinancing student loans in October 2019, with a limited set of features and availability. Its initial refi product was built around an all-digital application process that eliminated steps like uploading pay stubs to verify income, for example.
Figure also offered a unique optional origination fee. This feature let you increase your balance by 1%, 2% or 3% in exchange for a lower fixed rate. (These fees were not available for variable rate loans.)
